Brockhampton Begins Iridescence Era With i'll be there tour in Mesa

With the Saturation trilogy behind them, Brockhampton seems ready to hit the ground running with a new album and tour to go along with it. They'll be at the Mesa Amphitheatre on Wednesday, October 3, as the first show to kickoff their third North American tour.

The self-proclaimed boy band has had a rough couple of months following the ousting of Ameer Vann, one of the group's founders, and the subsequent cancellation of the remainder of their tour. Vann was accused of sexual and emotional abuse, and while the group initially stood behind him when the first wave of allegations surfaced, they later changed their minds, kicked Vann out of the band, and apologized to their fanbase for not speaking up sooner. Vann's departure from the band was announced with a statement that read, “We do not tolerate abuse of any kind. This is not a solution to their suffering, but we hope this is a step in the right direction.”

Although it can be seen as a devastating loss – Vann was the cover star of all three albums in the band's Saturation trilogy – some fans have praised the group for taking responsibility of the situation and attempting to move forward. The situation put a pause on their tour and work on music, but they recently announced that their new project, Iridescence, will be released in September, just in time for this tour.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. on Saturday, September 8, and will be available at mesaamp.com.
