Childish Gambino in Concert
Donald Glover prefaced his This Is America tour with the cryptic announcement that it would be his last ever — at least with the Childish Gambino moniker, under which he makes ultra-ambitious, ever-evolving hip-hop and soul. If that's the case, he's closing at his absolute peak, riding high off 2016's Grammy-winning hit "Redbone" and 2018's era-defining anthem "This Is America."
Gambino takes the stage backed by a 10-piece band and a crew of dancers, plus a flashy light show. But he remains the focus of it all, shifting seamlessly from swaggering soul man to intense MC and sprinkling hints of new material amid his biggest hits. If Gambino's introduction to the rap game was as an endearing introvert, he's now the ultimate showman — a once-in-a-generation talent at the top of his game.
Childish Gambino Background
Musician, actor, writer, producer, director, comedian — the man born Donald Glover is the ultimate 21st-century Renaissance man. Raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia, Glover broke into the industry writing for ‘30 Rock' and starring in the NBC sitcom ‘Community.'
Meanwhile, he'd been releasing brainy, left-field rap mixtapes under his Childish Gambino alter ego (a name he'd randomly coined thanks to an online Wu-Tang Clan name generator). By his second album, 2015's ‘Because the Internet,' he'd honed his craft and drifted further into singing — and into his first Grammy nomination.
On 2016's ‘Awaken, My Love!,' Glover ventured into full-blown funk mode, channeling George Clinton and Sly Stone. "Redbone," the album's breakthrough hit, would win a Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance. That same year saw the premiere of ‘Atlanta' — the hard-hitting and hilarious FX series in which Glover writes, executive produces, and often stars.
Many saw the show as Glover reaching his final form — but then came 2018's "This Is America," a song and video that summed up the current moment in American culture with gut-wrenching precision. There's no ceiling to what this multidisciplinary talent can do.
Because I know once I go and see Donald for the first time I’m gonna be blown away. I love him and his craft so much. Can’t wait for the new world tour!!!! DC is waiting for you love!!!
I never went but I’d love to go 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
He has incredible presence on stage. The whole time he worked the crowd and gave space to take in his visuals too.
Childish Gambino’s live performance was the best I’ve ever seen in my life!! His singing was beautiful (he hit *all* of his high notes) and his rapping and dancing were incredible! He kept the crowd lively and it was an exciting and captivating performance!
Attending the "This is America" concert in Houston was the most extraordinary concert experience that I've ever had. Childish Gambino is a complete professional, class-act, and PRODIGY. The concert started at the correct posted time with Rae Sremmurd opening and really pumping the crowd full of energy. Less than 30 minutes after Rae Sremmurd finished, Gambino was on the stage. He started out in the center of a long catwalk just standing motionless with eyes closed as if to preparing mentally or maybe silently praying, who knows? The crowd went wild, snapping photos, screaming, cheering, etc. The anticipation built. He went on to rap, sing, dance, talk, interact with the crowd (physically entering the crowd) with a lavish amount of energy, focus, and love for the next 90 minutes. His intensity was supreme and really drew me in. The concert flew by so quickly as I was completely engulfed in the live band, the huge moving lighted walls, his remarkable voice, his facial expressions, his body movements, dancing and footwork, and the roaring crowd! Childish Gambino is a prodigy and I felt that I was in the presence of greatness. I was completely overwhelmed by his performance. Although he stated it would be Gambino's last tour, I hope to see him again live.
This was a great concert and it was priced very good for the production.
1 of the few talented complete artist left in music industry.
I love Childish Gambino so I had high expectations for the concert and suffice it to say he was everything I expected and more! So sad this is his last tour...I wound definitely see him again...and again...and again!!!
He took us to CHURCH and I'm so glad to experience such an amazing show, considering its his last tour.
I've loved Childish Gambino since before I could remember and seeing him was so unreal! He was better than expected. Between his dancing and his singing, I don't know which one was better! His music always puts me in the best mood and I don't know where I would be without it. I am, however, so sad that it's his last tour. I am thankful for the opportunity to see him!
