Frank Ocean has announced his first live gigs in three years. Supporting his latest studio album, Blondethe elusive singer is scheduled to headline two festivals in 2017: Denmark’s Northside Festival on June 9 and London’s Lovebox Festival on July 14.

Could this mean that there are more show dates on the way? Possibly. In a recent interview with the New York Times, Ocean revealed that he pays close attention to record sales and hinted at the possibility of a tour.

“I need to know how many records I’ve sold, how many album equivalents from streaming, which territories are playing my music more than others,” he said. “It helps me in conversations about where we’re gonna be playing shows, or where I might open a retail location, like a pop-up store or something.”

Here’s to hoping there’s more where this came from then. But while we wait, watch Ocean’s stellar video for lead single “Nikes” below.
