Kevin Gates’ new album is delayed, but that’s not stopping him from playing a Tampa arena show

Kevin Gates’ new album The Ceremony should have been out by now, but had to be pushed off to January.

The record is supposed to include thoughts about Walmart and guest spots from B.G. and Sexyy Red, and it’s looking like the 37-year-old Baton Rouge-based emcee has graduated from his days tearing up Jannus Live (and even serving jail time after kicking a fan at a 2015 gig in Lakeland).

This gig at the Yuengling Center—part of his “Only The Generals” tour—won’t be the largest space in Tampa that the 37-year-old’s ever played, but “2 Phones” will definitely go extremely hard in an arena.

Tickets to see Kevin Gates play Tampas’s Yuengling Center on Thursday, Dec. 14 are still available and start at $39.50.
