Foggy Notions Presents

Earl Sweatshirt & MIKE
Home on the Range Tour 2026

Wednesday 26th August 2026

Foggy Notions proudly presents EARL SWEATSHIRT & MIKE - Home on the 
Range Tour 2026 with special guest HARRISON [SURF GANG] live at Vicar 
Street on Wednesday 26th August. Tickets on general sale Friday 13th 
March at 10:00.

“Feel like all of this life that I have, man, this shit could inspire a 
book,” MIKE raps with conviction on “F.E.A.R.”, the eighth song on a new 
collaborative album, POMPEII // UTILITY, with rapper and friend Earl 
Sweatshirt. The record’s whopping 33 tracks, produced by NYC’s 
hyper-present post-pandemic supercollective SURF GANG, compile an 
intimate chronicle of experience, memory, and kinship into a record 
that, in breadth and detail, digests like a book. A project several 
years in the making, POMPEII // UTILITY unites two kindred spirit 
rappers from opposite coasts within SURF GANG’s world-building genius, 
to trace a musical bond and mutual admiration shaped through early 
collaborations and features, shared stages, mutual friends, and a 
devoted fanbase.

Across several albums and widespread critical acclaim, Earl Sweatshirt 
has cemented himself as a definitive poet chronicling growth, 
self-discovery, and the resonant moods of a generation. MIKE is a 
quintessential old soul — his calm delivery and measured questioning 
carrying a quiet wisdom. Once making waves in NYC’s underground hip-hop 
circles with the [sLUms] collective, MIKE’s inner world has come further 
into focus as his career has expanded.

Structured as a double-sided experience — MIKE on one side, Earl on the 
other — POMPEII // UTILITY unfolds through a rotating cast of side 
quests and characters from within its shared creative ecosystem. 
Jadasea, Anysia Kym, Niontay, Na-Kel Smith, and Lerado Khalil all make 
appearances, passing through the album’s vast terrain, while behind the 
scenes, SURF GANG producers EvilGiane, Harrison, Elipropperr, and Flea 
Diamonds (with input from additional producers) wield the gritty, raspy, 
animated beats that build its container. The production is fast-paced 
and immediate, rough around the edges, embracing in-real-time energy 
over polish, at times pushing MIKE and Earl into uncharted territory. 
While each has orbited it selectively, they haven’t fully lived inside 
the SURF GANG universe until now, making POMPEII // UTILITY feel like an 
anticipated, full-circle collision of worlds.
