J.Cole has announced a run of just half a dozen live gigs here in Britain for his 2026 world tour – and Nottingham is lucky enough to be hosting one of them.

The Fall-Off Tour is J. Cole’s first solo headline tour in five years, following 2021’s The Off-Season Tour, and his first full global run in nearly a decade since the 2017 4 Your Eyez Only World Tour. This global run supports J. Cole’s seventh studio album, The Fall Off, which was released February 6, 2026

His UK leg will be kicking off this autumn, amid other shows over in mainland Europe, Australia and New Zealand, the States and the rest of North America, even South Africa.

Playing Birmingham, Glasgow, and Manchester, J. Cole’s time in the UK closes at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on October 31st.

Fans have been worrying this tour could be his last with hints of retirement dropping on his socials.

But in one of his latest posts he provided a bit more clairity for fans.

In a new note to fans, he said he really is planning on stepping back – but he won’t stop making music.

“I got a genuine love for music, and the blessing in dropping this album is that I’m highly inspired,” he wrote.

“I have no interest in releasing any more ‘J. Cole’ albums, but my passion and excitement right now is in producing. I will write, I will record when it hits me,” he adds.

“Release new music if the spirit says to do so. But ‘The Fall-Off’ is a project I won’t try to top.”

Tickets will be available starting Wednesday, February 18th at 9am local time via an artist presale. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning on Friday, February 20 at 9am local time at thefalloff.com.
