North West's first headlining tour has been cancelled just days before it was due to begin, with scheduled Kimokawaii Tour dates disappearing from official platforms.

The 13-year-old rapper was set to launch the tour alongside rapper Molly Santana on August 5 in Dallas, following the release of her debut EP, N0rth4evr, in May.

The Dallas opening show and a second date in Toronto on August 17 are now listed as "cancelled" on Ticketmaster. The tour's official website has also been taken offline.

However, a performance scheduled for August 25 at The Midway in San Francisco remains listed on the venue's website.

No reason for the cancellations has been announced. Representatives for North West and Molly Santana have not publicly commented on the changes.

The Kimokawaii Tour would have marked North's first headlining concert run since launching her music career.

The daughter of Ye and Kim Kardashian released her debut EP earlier this year, with several members of the Kardashian-Jenner family publicly celebrating the release on social media.

North first introduced listeners to the project with the single Piercing On My Hand in February, in which she referenced public discussion surrounding her dermal piercing.

"Piercing on my hand, the other holding bands," she raps. "No friends, just filter, you wouldn't understand."

Elsewhere in the track, North continues, "All my friends are hits, you know I'm not lazy/You're so angry that I'm so mainstream."

Before releasing N0rth4evr, North collaborated with FKA Twigs on the 2025 track Childlike Things from the album Eusexua. Molly Santana recently appeared alongside Drake and Future on the song Ran To Atlanta.
