Having been named by USA Today one of the best and biggest hip-hop touring acts on the college circuit, G-Eazy has toured relentlessly for years. His most recent tour, “From The Bay To The Universe” which sold over 100,000 tickets and 60 SOLD-OUT shows, took G-Eazy across the globe, including North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. This summer, G-Eazy played a slew of the biggest music festivals across North America and Europe, including Outside Lands, Roskilde, Wireless Festival, closing sets at Lollapalooza and Bonaroo, and most recently Austin City Limits.

When It’s Dark Out comes fresh off the heels of G-Eazy’s “Me, Myself & I” with Bebe Rexha, the first single from the album. CLICK HERE to watch the video.
