Aminé is officially hitting the road this fall, bringing his critically-acclaimed new album, 13 Months of Sunshine, to fans across North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe. The upcoming four-month tour—promoted by Live Nation—promises to be the rapper’s most personal and electrifying run to date, blending his signature energy with storytelling rooted in heritage, introspection, and sonic exploration.
Tour Overview: 13 Months of Sunshine Takes the Stage Worldwide
From Portland to Paris: A 4-Month Global Journey
Aminé kicks off his tour with the second edition of The Best Day Ever Festival on September 13–14 in his hometown of Portland, Oregon—an event that sets the tone for an expansive lineup of performances spanning dozens of cities across three continents.
“This tour is about connection—cultural, personal, musical,” Aminé shared. “Every city is a chance to tell the story behind this album live.“
With stops in New York, Toronto, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, and more, fans can expect an unforgettable experience that brings the textures of 13 Months of Sunshine to life on stage.
The Album Behind the Tour: 13 Months of Sunshine
An Ode to Ethiopian Roots
Released on May 16, 2025 via 10K Projects, 13 Months of Sunshine draws inspiration from Aminé’s East African heritage, notably referencing the 13-month calendar of Ethiopia and Eritrea. The album title also nods to vintage tourism slogans promoting Ethiopia in the 1960s and 70s.
“They came up with this slogan to show people there was so much more to Ethiopia than what is advertised… I related so heavily to it,” Aminé explains. “Because on this album, I am showing there’s so much more than what everyone assumes about my music—myself included.“
Produced with Precision: The Role of Dahi
The 16-track project is executive produced by Dahi (notable for his work with SZA, Ravyn Lenae, Kendrick Lamar), and was written with Aminé’s personal barometer in mind:
“Every line had to pass the ‘small reading room test’—if I wouldn’t be proud to read it aloud to a room of 30 people, it didn’t make the cut.“
This high standard yields poetic, heartfelt storytelling paired with genre-bending production.
Highlight Tracks: From “History” to “Images”
- “History” (feat. Waxahatchee) — A shimmering indie-pop gem
- “Cool About It” (feat. Lido) — Smooth and introspective
- “Images” (feat. Toro y Moi & 454) — A psych-synth closer that lingers
- “New Flower!” (feat. Leon Thomas) — A vibrant, sonic opening

What Makes 13 Months of Sunshine a Landmark Moment?
Aminé’s third studio album, released via 10K Projects on May 16, 2025, is more than music—it’s a cultural statement, weaving personal memory, global sound, and East African identity into one cohesive body of work.
Produced by Dahi (Kendrick Lamar, SZA), the 16-track album was crafted with the “small reading room” standard, meaning every lyric had to stand on its own—raw, honest, and poetic.
Featured tracks to watch for live:
- “History” ft. Waxahatchee – A soaring indie-pop moment
- “Cool About It” ft. Lido – Electronic jazz-meets-rap bounce
- “Images” ft. 454 & Toro y Moi – A psych-synth closing masterpiece
- “Changer” ft. chlothegod – A genre-shifting standout
Aminé shared,
“This album is a way to rewrite what people expect from me—just like Ethiopia’s slogan promised 13 months of sunshine, I wanted to give something different, deeper, and more beautiful than the surface.”
