Nick Cannon is taking Wild ’N Out back into arenas. Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ’N Out Live – The Next Generation is a 20-city Live Nation run this fall, mixing the TV show’s roast-and-rap games with freestyle battles, live performances, celebrity guests, and crowd bits. The franchise is heading into its 22nd season.
The tour launches Nov. 10 in Oakland and already includes confirmed stops in Las Vegas, Birmingham, and Detroit, with more buildings posting dates as the on-sale week hits.

When tickets go on sale
| Window | Date & time | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Artist presale | Tue., Sept. 22, 2026, 10 a.m. local | Tour / venue lists |
| Other midweek presales | Sept. 22–23 | Venue, radio, Live Nation |
| General public | Thu., Sept. 24, 2026, 10 a.m. local | AXS, LiveNation.com |
Vegas on-sale is listed through AXS; Birmingham is listed through Live Nation. Check both if your city isn’t posted yet.
Face value on presale day is the cheapest path. Floor and lower-bowl for this show move first — it’s a games-and-battles format, so fans want to be close enough to see the stage and get picked on.
Confirmed 2026 dates (so far)
| Date | City | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Nov. 10 | Oakland, CA | Tour kickoff (20-city run starts here) |
| Nov. 14 | Las Vegas, NV | Michelob ULTRA Arena |
| Nov. 24 | Birmingham, AL | Legacy Arena at the BJCC |
| Dec. 13 | Detroit, MI | Little Caesars Arena |
More of the 20 cities are expected to post this week around the Sept. 24 on-sale. Track Live Nation, AXS, and WildNOutLiveTour.com. Local reports: FOX5 Las Vegas, ABC 33/40 Birmingham, 313 Presents / Little Caesars Arena.
Earlier 2026 live taping energy included a June 28 Barclays Center date in Brooklyn — that was a separate live event, not this fall arena routing.
How to get cheaper Wild ’N Out tickets
1. Use the Sept. 22 artist presale.
That’s the best shot at standard inventory before floor and lower bowl jump.
2. Compare primary and verified resale the same morning.
Primary: AXS, LiveNation.com, Ticketmaster.
Resale: SeatGeek, StubHub, Capital City Tickets.
After the first rush, upper-bowl pairs often dip on resale, especially midweek or secondary markets.
3. Pick the market, not just the brand.
Vegas and Detroit will price like destination / arena nights. Birmingham and later add-on cities usually leave more inventory.
4. Don’t buy screenshots.
Arena shows are mobile-only. Use a platform with a buyer guarantee. Skip Cash App / Zelle / Instagram “deals.”
5. Check all-in price, not the headline number.
A $75 face ticket plus fees can beat a $95 “cheap” resale listing — or the opposite. Sort by all-in.
6. Wait 24–48 hours if Friday inventory looks ugly.
Holds drop. Panic platinum on night one is how people overpay for this show.
What the live show actually is
This is not a stand-up hour and not a concert with a fixed setlist. The live format pulls the TV games onto a stage: team captains, roast games, freestyle battles, surprise guests, and audience participation. Past live runs have featured Wild ’N Out regulars and musical guests; The Next Generation branding is built around new talent plus Cannon as host.
Seat tip: lower bowl and floor see the battles. Upper bowl is fine if you mainly want the room energy and a lower ticket.
City notes
- Oakland (Nov. 10): Opening night. Expect the tightest inventory and the most “first show” markup.
- Las Vegas (Nov. 14): Michelob ULTRA Arena on the Strip. Tourist demand + Saturday night = higher floor prices. Details via FOX5.
- Birmingham (Nov. 24): Legacy Arena at the BJCC. Often the value date on a 20-city comedy/hip-hop routing. ABC 33/40.
- Detroit (Dec. 13): Little Caesars Arena. Big-room pricing; watch 313 Presents for onsale links.
FAQ
Is the full 20-city list out?
Not as one official poster in every market yet. Oakland, Las Vegas, Birmingham, and Detroit are confirmed. Refresh Live Nation, AXS, and the tour site this week.
Who is on the bill?
Nick Cannon hosts. Cast, captains, and musical guests vary by city. Don’t buy a ticket based on one rumored name until the venue page lists it.
Is this the same as the old Final Lap tour?
No. Final Lap was the 20th-anniversary run. This is The Next Generation — new season, new arena routing.
Age / runtime?
Treat it as adult comedy (language, roasts). Runtime is typically in the two-hour range with bits and battles, but confirm doors/show time on your venue page.
