Brockhampton will be dropping into Vancouver on the Here Right Now tour in 2022.

The self-described “all-American boy band,” whose latest release Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine is scoring high with fans and reviewers, formed in San Marcos, Texas, in 2015. Led by singer/rapper/lyricist Kevin Abstract, the group has gone from chart-topping hybrid pop-hop to the far more mature and personally introspective style heard on its latest album.

Featuring appearances by A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, Danny Brown and Charlie Wilson to the experimental chops of Jpegmafia, Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine is a change of pace for the group. Singles such as the Light are rewriting the way people look at the multi-member group, which has always enjoyed a devoted fan base if not all the respect it was due in hip-hop circles. Now folks are shouting out respect for the frequently moody and dark sound of the band.

The AllMusic.com review from Neil Z. Yeung totally nails it calling it the album where “the wild boys become thoughtful men.” Jean Dawson, Paris, Texas and HVN are also announced as the Vancouver date support acts.
