Matt Rife Announces 2025 ‘Stay Golden Tour’ with 32 North American Dates
Comedian Matt Rife has announced his highly anticipated 2025 ‘Stay Golden Tour‘, which will feature 32 shows across North America. Produced by Live Nation, the tour is set to kick off on March 8, 2025, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX, and will include stops in major cities such as Houston, Pittsburgh, San Diego, and New York City, where Rife will perform his first-ever headline show at the iconic Madison Square Garden.
The ‘Stay Golden Tour’ follows the immense success of Rife’s previous ‘ProbleMATTic World Tour’, which sold over 600,000 tickets across more than 250 shows in less than 48 hours after its announcement in June 2023. The multi-year tour spanned North America, Europe, the UK, and Australia.
Tickets for the ‘Stay Golden Tour’ will be available starting with an artist presale on November 20, followed by additional presales throughout the week, and a general onsale beginning on November 22 at 12pm local time via MattRifeOfficial.com.
Matt Rife has also made significant strides in his career with the release of his comedy specials. In 2021, he self-produced his first one-hour special, “Only Fans,” which he distributed through YouTube. In April 2023, he released his second special, “Matthew Steven Rife,” also on YouTube. More recently, on November 15, 2023, he released his first Netflix special, “Matt Rife: Natural Selection,” which garnered over 10.3 million views in its first two weeks, becoming the most viewed special on the platform in the latter half of 2023.
Rife’s success has led to a lucrative two-special deal with Netflix, including a development deal for a groundbreaking gym/workplace comedy series that he will write and star in. Additionally, he premiered Netflix’s first-ever crowd work special, “Lucid,” on August 13, 2024, which quickly entered the top 10 most-watched shows in 37 countries on the platform for two weeks.
Aside from his tour and comedy specials, Matt Rife is set to take on a leading role in the R-rated comedy film *Rolling Loud*, co-produced by Live Nation Productions and filmed at the renowned hip-hop festival of the same name. The film is written and directed by Jeremy Garelick through his company, American High.
