The Southern Magnolia is a native Floridian flower, and thousands of people will sing its praises in the Bay area this fall when Playboi Carti arrives to play his biggest local show to date.

Today, the 26-year-old rapper added three new Florida dates to his “Antagonist” tour, including one in Tampa.

~~Tickets to see Playboi Carti play Amalie Arena in Tampa on Wednesday, Oct. 25 go on sale Friday, Aug. 4 and start at $45.75.~~

UPDATE: This show is now on Wednesday, Jan. 24.

Carti, real name Jordan Terrell Carter, is riding high off a feature on Travis Scott’s new album Utopia. The rapper who brought his hit 2017 single “Magnolia” to The Ritz Ybor hasn’t released an album since 2020’s Red, which hit no. 1 on the Billboard 200. He recently told social media followers that he has “new shit on the way,” and at Miami’s recent Rolling Loud also promised fans a new album “ASAP.”

A press release says rappers Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely and Homixide Gang open Carti first headline tour since 2021 under the “Opium Collective” moniker.
