Telefone , the piercing 2016 breakout debut from Noname , turns ten this year, and the Chicago rapper is celebrating it with a late-summer anniversary trek. It kicks off in Toronto on August 2 and ends with a September 10 hometown show. Check out the full list of stops below. Two months after the tour ends, she will take the Telefone festivities across the Atlantic to Pitchfork Festival London in November.

“I hope you were there,” Noname said in an Instagram post announcing the performances. “I hope 10 years ago in some small corner of the world you heard the imagination of young folks from the city of chicago. Telefone was already breathing when I discovered it. It sat, quietly whispering to me between every blunt rotation outside youmedia, after every conversation with cam about the texture of sound, after I lived along enough to sing about it. Telefone was raised by a community.”
