Doja Cat Is Bringing Her Bloody Alter-Ego On Tour & Fans Are Shook
Openers include “it” girl rappers Ice Spice and Doechii.
Doja Cat just gave fans another iconic reason to “look at her.” On June 23, the rapper announced she’s embarking on her first all-arena tour. The news felt like a shock-drop, as Doja Cat told Elle in 2022 she wanted to take a break after releasing her fourth album. At the time, it seemed touring wasn’t in the cards for her. However, fast forward to today, and she’s bringing her sonic presence (and bloody alter-ego Scarlet) on the road.
Doja Cat first teased The Scarlet Tour on Twitter. There, she tweeted the tour’s name alongside a gnarly image of herself with red-painted lips. This could also be her aforementioned alternate Scarlet, whom she first introduced in her “Attention” music video on June 15. In the same post, Doja Cat also announced rappers Ice Spice and Doechii will join as openers. The 24-date tour (which will trek through North America) will begin in San Francisco, fittingly, on Halloween. She’ll then visit cities such as Miami, Las Vegas, Denver, Los Angeles, Houston, and Brooklyn before wrapping up in early December.
Like many tours, the ticket-buying process for The Scarlet Tour will begin with advanced registration to filter out bots and scalpers. Fans can register on Ticketmaster now through June 25 at 10 p.m. PST. Once the registration ends, fans will be randomly selected to receive a code that’ll give them access to the presales, which start on June 28. A general sale (which will only have a limited number of tickets on Ticketmaster) will follow on June 30 at 10 a.m. local time.
This tour announcement startled fans, as Doja Cat hasn’t offered up much information about her new current era.
So far, the rapper has only released her single “Attention,” which is alleged to appear on her upcoming album. As for her new record, the lyricist dropped breadcrumbs about its direction and how it’ll lean more into the rap sphere. At one point, the performer hinted the album would be titled Hellmouth; however, she backtracked and stated she nor her team have given the release a name.
While details about Doja Cat’s unnamed album are sparse, that can’t be said about her upcoming slate of shows. Here’s everything to know about her Scarlet Tour.

The Openers For The Scarlet Tour
“It” girl rappers Ice Spice and Doechii will serve as openers on select dates. It appears Doechii will largely take the lead on the first half of the tour, while Ice Spice will appear on the last few dates.
What’s The Setlist For The Scarlet Tour?
Doja Cat hasn’t hinted what the tour’s setlist will be; however, it’s safe to assume she’ll perform “Attention” and other tracks from her upcoming album once it releases. She might also show love to her previous hit-making albums (2021’s Planet Her and 2019’s Hot Pink), but fans should keep their hopes at bay for this theory. Recently, the rapper called both of those creations “cash grabs” and stated she wants to stray away from creating “mediocre pop” records.
