Kanye announced the news of the pop-up store on Twitter, saying that 21 Pablo stores would be running over the weekend. Locations were revealed yesterday, with cities that included Cape Town as well as London, Berlin, Singapore, Amsterdam, Toronto and a few others in Australia and the United States.

The rapper is no stranger to the idea of concept stores. His New York pop-up shop that opened for three days earlier in the year was reported to have queues lasting for several hours. Kanye claimed that over $1 million was made in sales from that event alone. He has also launched pop-up stores for some of his previous albums, including the 2013 Yeezus and his 2011 collaboration with fellow rapper Jay-Z (Watch the Throne).

According to Vogue magazine, each location will also feature the city’s name on t-shirts in this Gothic script style of Thornhill DeWitt, an artist whose work has been featured on a number of Pablo designs.
