Donald Glover, known to the world as Childish Gambino, has unveiled the full tracklist for his highly anticipated final album, Bando Stone & the New World.
The announcement was made on July 17th in collaboration with Spotify, following the release of the album’s official trailer in late June.
The 17-track album boasts an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Amaarae, Chlöe, Flo Milli, Jorja Smith, Legend, Fousheé, Khruangbin, and Yeat. Fans have already been treated to two singles from the album: “Lithonia”, which dropped on July 2nd, and “In the Night”, featuring Amaarae and Smith, released earlier this week.

During an Instagram Live session last month, Glover shared his vision for the album. “The problem is we’re not having enough fun. OK, so, this rollout that’s coming, it’s like, mostly about fun. I’m trying to have fun because I feel like there’s just people not having enough fun,” he said.
Gambino teamed up with British singer-songwriter Jorja Smith and Ghanaian American star Amaarae on the new track “In the Night,” which was released July 16.
The track, co-produced by Gambino, DJ Dahi, and Kurtis McKenzie, weaves warm synths and a pulsating bassline to explore the deep desire of a forbidden love. Gambino performed every track of his final album for fans at New York’s outdoor venue, Little Island, on July 6th.
Gambino’s announcement was not just about the album but also his final tour under this moniker.
The ‘New World’ tour kicks off on August 11th in Oklahoma City, featuring Willow as the opening act for the North American leg, and Amaarae joining for the international dates. The tour includes stops in major cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Atlanta, concluding in Chicago on October 3rd before heading internationally.
For Australian fans, Childish Gambino will bring his tour Down Under in 2025, joined by Amaarae, with shows heading to Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth throughout January and February.
