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.

Childish Gambino has such a good voice!!! It’s really something to see live. I’ve been a fan since 2013 (kinda late) and I finally got to see Bino live for his last tour. He did some old stuff from my favorite album (Because the Internet) and he even did unreleased songs!! Highly recommend.
This was my first time having floor seats at an arena and it was so worth it. That was the best show I’ve ever been to. And I’ve been to A LOT of concerts
Sad to see this is his last tour. But best last tour
Best performer I’ve seen........... and I went to to the on the run tour
He was nothing but amazing, I would totally go again
He was amazing, a true entertainer and artist. He rapped, he sang, he danced. I’m saddened that this will be his last tour supposedly. Please keep touring Childish!
GAMBINO CURED MY DEPRESSION WITH HIS GODLY TALENT.
Honestly amazing and astounding! He performed a variety of songs from every album he’s released, so there was something for every fan. The visuals were breathtaking and he kept you guessing on what’d he’d do next. He really showed love for the DMV and we love him back. Even though he might not continue under the Childish Gambino moniker, I hope he’ll continue making music under his real name for all us to enjoy. If he ever does tour again, I highly suggest that you go.
Concert was amazing! Gambino is the greatest performer! I am still thinking about the show 3 days later. Best concert ever for me
A group of us went to see Childish Gambino. Our ages ranged from 11 to 55 and everyone enjoyed the show. Now, that's a testament that Childish Gambino knows how to provide pure entertainment for EVERYONE! I would definitely see him again.
I was hoping for a bigger stage. It was hard to hear the singer every now and then. We sat in section 105. But it was still fun!
This was amazing!!! Gambino put on a show i will never forget!!!
I’m so glad I saw his last tour. It was full of energy and heart. I lost my voice singing all the songs lol
Great Concert. He is truly talented.. I am so happy I was able to see him.
I was in the 400's section, but the view was still great. The lights, smoke, video and other effects made it even greater.
Childish Gambino knows how to put on a show. If you never got to see him live, you missed the opportunity of a lifetime for a soul-moving entertainment experience.
I left 30 minutes in to the show. Wish I could have my money back.
Best concert I've been to in a while. Will go to another show when he visits the area again. True artist.
His energy and vibe was so uplifting!!! I was entertained the whole show!! I just wish I could have met him.
