Earl Sweatshirt at Town Ballroom | July 1, 2026

If you have been following the arc of Earl Sweatshirt’s career — from teenage Odd Future phenom to one of the most critically respected voices in experimental hip-hop — this one is worth the drive to Buffalo.

Earl brings his Home on the Range Tour to Town Ballroom on Wednesday, July 1, with MIKE along as co-headliner. That pairing is not coincidence: the two just released POMPEII // UTILITY, a sprawling 33-track collaborative double album with Surf Gang, back in April. Catching them together on stage, fresh off a record they built side by side, is the kind of show that feels like more than a standard tour stop.

About Earl Sweatshirt

Born Thebe Kgositsile in Los Angeles, Earl broke out as a teenager alongside Tyler, the Creator through the Odd Future collective. His debut album Doris (2013) reached the top five of the Billboard 200, but the records that followed — I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside (2015), Some Rap Songs (2018), Sick! (2022), and Voir Dire (2023, with The Alchemist) — are what cemented his reputation for dense, introspective wordplay over rugged, lo-fi-textured production. His 2025 album Live Laugh Love added another chapter before POMPEII // UTILITY landed this April to wide critical acclaim. The Home on the Range Tour is the North American leg behind that project, and MIKE — Brooklyn rapper, producer, longtime Earl collaborator — is along for the whole ride.

About Town Ballroom

Town Ballroom is at 681 Main Street in downtown Buffalo — a mid-size, all-ages standing-room venue that has been part of the city’s live music fabric for approximately two decades. Doors are at 7:00 PM. Give yourself time to park; Main Street on a summer Wednesday fills up faster than you’d expect. The all-ages policy means the crowd skews wide, which for a show like this is half the fun.
