Belly Gang Kushington opens his first ever multi city tour in his hometown on Wednesday, November 25, headlining the Tabernacle twelve days after his new album Good Dope Sell Itself lands.

The night before Thanksgiving, the Tabernacle hosts a homecoming. Belly Gang Kushington, the Adamsville rapper born Victor Thomas, opens the WTF Goin Tour in Atlanta on Wednesday, November 25, and the routing tells the story of his year: this is his first multi city tour, and it runs only three cities, Atlanta first, then Detroit on December 3 and Houston on December 8.

The rise has been fast and documented. Signed to LVRN in late 2024, he released his debut album The Streets Is Yours in April 2025 and its deluxe edition, The Re-Up, that November. “Friend Do (Remix),” featuring YKNiece, earned him his first RIAA Gold certification this year. Then came “WTF Goin,” featuring 21 Savage, released in June: his first Billboard Hot 100 entry, peaking at number 43, number one at Urban radio, and more than 100 million streams. The honors followed, Billboard’s Hip-Hop Rookie of the Month in March, a place in the 2026 XXL Freshman Class, a BET Best New Artist nomination, and a halftime performance at the Atlanta Hawks’ home opener in October.

He does not arrive empty handed. His sophomore project, Good Dope Sell Itself, is out November 13, twelve days before this show, so Atlanta hears the new album first, in his own city, in a room that has launched a hundred Atlanta stories. No opener is announced. None is the point. This is the hometown date of a breakout year, and the Tabernacle crowd will treat it that way.

Syd’s Beard Tour plays the Tabernacle on Tuesday, November 24, a late November stop on the 22 date North American run behind her third solo album, with no opener announced and none needed.

Atlanta’s R&B fall gets its centerpiece on Tuesday, November 24, when Syd headlines the Tabernacle on the Beard Tour. The 22 date North American run opened in Vancouver on November 7 and closes at the Wiltern in Los Angeles on December 16, passing through Camp Flog Gnaw on the way, and it is built entirely around the strongest solo record of her career.

That record is Beard, her third solo album, released July 17 through Free Lunch and Warner Records, her first LP in four years and one she co-produced herself. The collaborator list reads like a roll call of modern soul: Raphael Saadiq, Big Sean, Rodney Jerkins, James Fauntleroy and Van Hunt all appear across its 12 tracks. The album folds in “GMFU,” first released as a standalone single in September 2025, produced by Jerkins with Saadiq on bass, here in a version featuring Big Sean, and it was led by “Callin,” featuring Blu June. Earlier single “Die For This,” from July 2025, was her first new song in over three years and started the whole campaign.

Syd’s standing in the culture is larger than any single billing: co-founder of The Internet, and a GRAMMY winning songwriter whose credits include Beyoncé’s “Plastic Off the Sofa.” But a Beard show is a different proposition from the résumé. No opener is announced for the Atlanta date, just Syd, the band and a room that has hosted every kind of music Atlanta loves. Tuesday night at the Tabernacle belongs to her alone.
