Childish Gambino, a.k.a. Donald Glover, is on tour this summer -- for possibly the last time, as Glover has said he plans to retire the alter ego -- and he is expected to stop at Wells Fargo Center on August 21.

Earlier this year, Glover announced the "The New World Tour" as he surprised fans with the release of Atavista -- which is a reimagined version of his 3.15.20 album.

The album includes two new tracks: “Atavista'' and “Human Sacrifice."

Additionally, he unveiled an official music video for “Little Foot Big Foot,” directed by Hiro Murai and featuring Young Nudy.

Gambino also released his new album -- a soundtrack to the upcoming film, Bando Stone and the New World -- this summer.

Glover has said in the past that he plans to retire the Childish Gambino moniker after that album dropped.

The U.S. leg of Childish Gambino's New World Tour kicked off on Aug. 11 at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and will stop at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center on Aug. 21.

Organizers said that Gambino will then begin the European/UK and Australian/New Zealand legs of The New World Tour in Lyon, FR, on October 31 before concluding at RAC Arena in Perth, WA on February 11.
