MINNEAPOLIS, MN (November 18, 2024) – Today, hugely popular comedian Matt Rife announced his 2025 Stay Golden Tour with 32 arena and amphitheater dates across North America next year. Produced by Live Nation, the brand-new tour will kick off on Saturday, March 8 in Dallas, TX at American Airlines Arena, with additional stops in Houston, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Charleston, Montreal, Kansas City, and Minneapolis on March 23. The tour will see Matt playing the biggest rooms of his career thus far, including his first-ever headline show at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City, NY.
The Stay Golden Tour follows Matt’s wildly successful ProbleMATTic World Tour, which saw the comedian sell over 600,000 tickets across 250+ shows in less than 48 hours following the announcement in June 2023. The multi-year tour included shows across North America, Europe, the UK, and Australia.
TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale beginning Wednesday, November 20 at 12pm local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Friday, November 22 at 12pm local time at MattRifeOfficial.com.
In 2021, Rife self-produced his first one-hour comedy special, "Only Fans," which he distributed through YouTube and in April 2023, he released his second special, "Matthew Steven Rife," also on YouTube. On November 15, 2023, he released his first Netflix special, "Matt Rife: Natural Selection," which achieved over 10.3 million views in its first two weeks, becoming the most viewed special on the streaming platform in the latter half of 2023. Rife's incredible success opened the door to a lucrative two-special deal with Netflix, which included a development deal for a groundbreaking gym/workplace comedy series that he will both write and star in. The partnership also featured Netflix's first-ever crowd work special, "Lucid," which premiered on August 13, 2024, quickly entering the top 10 most-watched shows in 37 countries on the platform for two weeks.
Rife is set to take on a leading role in Rolling Loud, an R-rated comedy co-produced by Live Nation Productions, which will be filmed at the renowned hip-hop festival of the same name this winter. The film is written and directed by Jeremy Garelick (Murder Mystery 2) through his company, American High. The UTA Independent Film Group is handling worldwide rights for the project, which is scheduled for release next year.
