Chance the Rapper « Coloring Book 10 Year Anniversary Tour »

Chance the Rapper returns to the stage with a show built around Coloring Book, the mixtape that cemented his blend of hip-hop, soul and gospel. Chicago-born Chancellor Bennett came up outside the label system with 10 Day (2012) and Acid Rap (2013), sketching a style that moves between agile rap, sung cadences and spoken word. Alongside The Social Experiment, he pushed live arrangements, horns and keys to the front, a palette he kept exploring on The Big Day (2019). His writing toggles between introspection, everyday snapshots and communal uplift, always tied to his Chicago roots.

For the Coloring Book 10 Year Anniversary Tour, he revisits the 2016 project that brought choirs, warm brass and church-inflected rhythms into his sound. On August 16, 2026 at MTELUS in Montreal, expect a set anchored in Coloring Book, reworked with live band dynamics, call-and-response moments and those elastic flow switches he favors. The show draws on the mixtape’s spectrum — radiant hooks, reflective passages, bursts of jazz and gospel — with space to tap earlier chapters like 10 Day and Acid Rap, and later melodies from The Big Day, all reshaped for the stage.
