Tyler, The Creator has announced his new album ‘Don’t Tap the Glass’. Find further details below.
The rapper shared the news of his upcoming LP during a concert at Brooklyn’s Barclays Centre last night (July 18), shouting out the album title during his performance.
Outside the venue, there was also a figure enclosed in a clear box that read “Don’t Tap the Glass”, alongside digital signage that promoted a new website DontTapTheGlass.com.
From there, vinyl records, CDs, and box sets are available to purchase, with everything shipping on Monday (July 21), when the album is presumed to come out.
The website also includes three directives: “Body Movement. No Sitting Still,” “Only Speak in Glory. Leave Your Baggage at Home,” and “Don’t Tap the Glass”.
It comes after the artist has been hinting to fans that something would be coming next week, sharing images on Instagram of a Louis Vuitton bag, a mannequin’s head, and a trumpet player in a band uniform – all labelled with the date July 21.

The upcoming LP will be the follow up to ‘Chromakopia’, which landed at number 44 on NME‘s best albums of 2024 list, and is the eighth studio album by the former Odd Future member.
NME‘s Fred Garratt-Stanley wrote in a three-star review of ‘Chromakopia’: “On ‘Noid’, he incisively documents this mental turmoil (exacerbated by intense fan scrutiny), spitting “Triple checking if I lost the door / I know every creak that’s in the floor / Motherfucker I’m paranoid“.”
The musician is set to make his film debut later this year in Marty Supreme, a new A24 film set to be released in December.
In other news, earlier this. year Tyler announced his first-ever Asia tour, making his live debut in Manila and Bangkok.
He’ll launch the tour in Tokyo on September 9, followed by dates in Seoul, Manila and Bangkok. Through the Asia trek, Tyler will be supported by former NME Cover stars Paris Texas.
In May, NME caught him live in London, giving his performance a glowing five-star review which read: “As Tyler wishes us a farewell, he remains humble, but tonight is no small feat. With outfit changes, multiple stages and live vocals front-and-centre, Tyler flips through his eras like a masterclass in fearless reinvention.
“From the raw menace of ‘Goblin’ to the kaleidoscopic chaos of ‘Chromakopia’, tonight is a vivid, wild ride through the mind of rap’s ultimate maverick – and London is lucky to be along for the journey.
