A person poses confidently against a tiled wall backdrop, wearing glasses, a white crop top, and a black pleated mini-skirt layered with visible waistband details and a belt. They have long braided hair, which they hold in one hand, and lean slightly on a chair with the other hand. The lighting emphasizes their strong, poised stance. — Doechii, who plays Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida on Oct. 25, 2025. Credit: Photo via Live Nation

Tampa felt betrayed after Doechii recently announced a U.S. tour with no hometown date—but the Swamp Princess made everything all good this morning.

The 27-year-old Blake High School alum and winner of the 2025 Grammy award for Best Rap Album will now play Tampa this fall as part of the now eight-city tour.

The Yuengling Center concert is the only Florida show on Doechii’s “Live From the Swamp Tour.”

Last February, when she became the first female rapper since Lauryn Hill to win the Best Rap Album Grammy, Doechii took to the stand to tell the world that “Tampa has so much talent.”

Months before that she played a sold-out, sweaty show at Crowbar in Ybor City and even visited her old stomping grounds at Blake High School.

Tickets to see Doechii play Tampa’s Yuengling Center on Saturday, Oct. 25 go on sale to the general public on Monday, Sept. 15. A fan presale starts this Friday, Sept. 12.
