Outside Lands headliner releases surprise album weeks before festival
Outside Lands attendees may be some of the first to hear Tyler, the Creator 's newest album live. The Southern California rapper released his 10-track 'Don't Tap the Glass' on Monday, July 21, just weeks before he is set to headline the San Francisco festival at Golden Gate Park on Aug. 9, the second night of the three-day event. Clocking in at just under 30 minutes, the project marks Tyler, the Creator's ninth studio album. It features Pharrell Williams on opening track 'Big Poe,' and includes samples of Oakland rapper Too Short 's 'Dope Fiend Beat,' Busta Rhymes ' 'Pass the Courvoisier Part II' and Michael Jackson 's 'Off the Wall.' 'This album was not made for sitting still,' the 'Sticky' rapper posted to Instagram on Monday morning. 'Dancing driving running any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it.' Following the album's release, Tyler, the Creator dropped a music video for the track 'Stop Playing With Me,' which featured cameos by Los Angeles Lakers power forward LeBron James, his business associate Maverick Carter and Clipse, the hip-hop duo composed of rapper Pusha T and his brother Malice. Tyler, the Creator — born Tyler Gregory Okonma — began teasing a Monday announcement on social media last week. While many fans were unsure of what the surprise could be, he updated his streetwear brand Golf Wang 's website on Friday, July 18, to include vinyls, T-shirts and other 'Don't Tap the Glass' merchandise. He also mentioned the title of the album onstage during a concert in Brooklyn that night. His headlining slot at the festival, which runs Aug. 8-10, comes in the middle of his 'Chromakopia' tour, which stopped in Oakland on Feb. 24 and San Francisco on March 5. Though he's been performing tracks off that record, fans are hopeful the rapper will debut some of his newer tracks during his upcoming shows. Tyler, the Creator was initially scheduled to perform at Outside Lands last year, but dropped out at the last minute and was replaced by 'Espresso' singer Sabrina Carpenter.

Tyler, the Creator album release In a graphic about the album, Tyler, the Creator framed it as a dance-forward party album. Here's the note in full: Live Events I asked some friends why they don't dance in public and some said because of the fear of being filmed. I thought damn, a natural form of expression and a certain connection they have with music is now a ghost. It made me wonder how much of our human spirit got killed because of the fear of being a meme, all for having a good time. I just got back from a 'listening party' for this album and man was it one of the greatest nights of my life. 300 people. No phones allowed. No cameras. Just speakers and a sweatbox. Everyone was dancing, moving, expressing, sweating. It was truly beautiful. I played the album front to back twice, it felt like that pent up energy finally got released and we craved the idea of letting more of it out. There was a freedom that filled the room. A ball of energy that might not translate to every speaker that plays this album but man did that room nail it. This album was not made for sitting still. Dancing driving running any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it. Only at full volume. Tyler , the Creator's rollouts for his albums have generally been pretty short, but Don't Tap the Glass arrives with the least notice yet. Tyler remains on tour in support of Chromakopia. He still has shows left to play in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines. He's also due to headline major North American music festivals including Lollapalooza and Outside Lands. See his latest tour dates here.

LeBron James cosigns Tyler, the Creator's surprise album Don't Tap the Glass in an unexpected move

He later uploaded the same on his Instagram. Meanwhile, the NBA legend LeBron James later posted the same on his Instagram Story. Additionally, he also co-signed the brand-new record, Don't Tap the Glass, last week. LeBron James surprises fans by backing Tyler, the Creator's latest release on Instagram Don't Tap the Glass, Tyler, the Creator's ninth studio album, will be released on Monday, July 21, 2025. He made the revelation during a recent show. The crowd was ecstatic when he casually revealed the album title at his Brooklyn gig on Friday. He uploaded the same on his Instagram with the caption: 'TOMORROW… 6am EST… DONT TAP THE GLASS..' The post was later shared by NBA legend LeBron James on his Instagram Story. He recently co-signed the new album Don't Tap the Glass, demonstrating his respect for the creator. As soon as the post was uploaded, it swiftly went viral. Although the two legends have acknowledged one another before, this serves as a stark reminder of how their influence transcends all sectors. The singer, however, has a clear philosophy that explains why he favors early-week releases. As per Complex, he explained his point of view in an interview with Nardwuar in 2023. He claimed: 'I think we should put music out again on Tuesdays instead of Fridays, for some reasons.. My reasoning is, I know people think because of the weekend, they can listen to stuff, and the streams go up. And the streaming people are like, 'Oh, the streams go up on the weekend!' But I think it's a lot of passive listening, at parties or people get the time to go to the gym, so they're not really listening.' LeBron James is an NBA icon (Image via Getty Images) He added: 'To work on an album for so long and put so much energy into it and for it to be released at midnight…just seems so disrespectful.' This evolving relationship between LeBron James and Tyler, the Creator, showcases how artists and athletes amplify each other's cultural influence. Whether or not they have official collaborations planned, the singer's presence in the NBA icon's orbit speaks volumes.
