Dave Blunts Is Still Standing

There are artists who build careers through traditional routes.

Then there’s Dave Blunts.

His rise has been almost impossible to separate from the internet. His music, personality and larger-than-life presence have turned him into a genuine online phenomenon, and now he's taking that world off the screen and into actual venues.

The Still Standing Tour is coming.

And honestly, the name feels pretty fitting.

From Internet Phenomenon to the Stage

Dave Blunts became impossible to ignore in late 2024, when footage of his live performance using an oxygen tank spread across the internet. The moment turned him into one of rap's most talked-about figures almost overnight.

But the viral moment isn't the entire story.

Blunts has been making music for years, and his catalog has continued growing beyond the clips that made him famous. Tracks like “The Cup,” “10 PERCS,” “CRYING IN THE KITCHEN” and “First Day Out The Hospital” have helped establish a style that feels completely his own. His music can be funny, bleak, melodic and deliberately outrageous all at once.

That's part of the appeal.

You never really know what a Dave Blunts show is going to look like.

Now He's Taking It on the Road

The Still Standing Tour is scheduled to hit several cities across the West Coast and Southwest, including Mesa, San Diego, Ventura, Berkeley and Anaheim.

The tour begins August 26 at The Nile Theater in Mesa before moving through California and eventually reaching Anaheim in September.

For an artist whose career has been so heavily shaped by viral moments, getting into a room with an actual audience is the next test.

Can the internet energy translate to a concert?

That's what makes this tour worth watching.

The Setlist Is Going to Be Wild

If his previous performances are anything to go by, Blunts has plenty of material to work with.

His shows have included songs like “10 PERCS,” “CRYING IN THE KITCHEN,” “First Day Out The Hospital,” “The Cup,” “Hospital Bed” and “Diddy Games,” among others.

There's also something interesting about seeing these songs performed live.

On the internet, Dave Blunts is often reduced to a clip.

At a concert, he's the entire show.

The personality, the songs, the crowd reactions and the unpredictability all exist in the same room.

Dave Blunts Doesn't Really Fit the Traditional Rap Mold

Maybe that's why the tour makes sense.

Blunts has never seemed particularly interested in being a conventional rapper. His music lives somewhere between internet culture, underground rap and outright spectacle.

And there's a real audience for that.

His current catalog has continued to expand, with I'll Believe It When I See It arriving in July 2026 and adding another chapter to his discography.

Now, instead of watching Dave Blunts through a phone screen, fans can see what happens when the entire experience is happening directly in front of them.

That's the interesting part.

The internet made Dave Blunts famous.

Now he's finding out what happens when the internet comes to the show.
