Most recently, West teased an upcoming tour during a radio appearance where he premiered Champions, also sharing news of a forthcoming album with his GOOD Music labelmates, Cruel Winter.
Fans hoped to get a preview of Kanye's Pablo material live earlier this month at Governors Ball, but his headlining set was cancelled due to weather. West then attempted to throw a pop-up show in its place in NYC, but never took the stage after hopeful audience-goers mobbed the concert venue, Webster Hall.
