Don Toliver to bring 2026 OCTANE Arena Tour to Hartford’s PeoplesBank Arena

Don Toliver to perform at PeoplesBank Arena in May 2026

Grammy-nominated rapper and songwriter Don Toliver will bring his 2026 OCTANE Arena Tour to Hartford on Friday, May 29, with a stop at PeoplesBank Arena.

The 30-city North American tour, produced by Live Nation, supports Toliver’s fifth studio album, OCTANE, which debuted at No. 1 on Spotify and Apple Music globally. The arena run features special guests SahBabii, SoFaygo and CHASE B.

The tour officially launches May 8 with a headline performance at Rolling Loud Orlando and includes stops in major markets such as Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago and Toronto. It also features a headline appearance at Milwaukee Summerfest before concluding July 5 at Ball Arena in Denver.

Tickets will be available beginning with a Citi presale on Wednesday, Feb. 4, at 10 a.m. local time through Thursday, Feb. 5, at 11:59 p.m. local time via the Citi Entertainment program. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale, which begins Friday, Feb. 6, at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com.

The tour will also offer VIP packages, including prime seating, early entry and access to a pre-show VIP lounge. Select packages include entry to a themed “personal garage” experience inspired by Toliver’s creative process behind OCTANE, along with exclusive merchandise and on-site perks.

OCTANE showcases Toliver’s melodic, experimental trap-R&B sound and includes tracks such as “Body,” which has reached the Top 5 on Spotify and Apple Music. The album was executive-produced by Toliver and features production from longtime collaborator Derek “206DEREK” Anderson. Toliver produced three tracks himself: “ATM,” “Rendezvous” and “Call Back.”

The album’s visual rollout includes the music video for “Rendezvous” featuring Yeat, directed by ADM and produced by Cole Bennett, as well as the “Excavator” video directed by Shadrinsky. Toliver also hosted a live-streamed listening event, “Live From OCTANE Mountain,” filmed at Mount Wilson Observatory.

Recorded during his European tour and sessions in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Los Angeles and Mount Wilson, OCTANE draws inspiration from Toliver’s interest in car and rally racing culture, with themes of motion and independence woven throughout the project.

Toliver’s recent successes include certified platinum singles “No Pole” and “Private Landing” featuring Justin Bieber, as well as multi-platinum hits “No Idea,” “After Party,” “Lemonade” and “Bandit.” His 2024 album HARDSTONE PSYCHOearned his first No. 1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
