Tickets went on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster, starting at $53 for general admission standing.<\/p>\n<p>The tour follows the January release of their joint album, Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos. Their single \u201cEver Since U Left Me\u201d has since climbed to No. 1 on both the Mediabase Rhythmic Radio Chart and Billboard\u2019s Rhythmic Airplay Chart \u2014 a career first for Max B and the third chart-topper of that kind for French Montana.<\/p>\n<p>The two are also set to release a follow-up project, Wave Gods 2: Cosmos Brothers, on April 24 via Coke Boys Records in partnership with Defiant Records\/EMG. The album will feature appearances from Rick Ross and Kanye West.<\/p>\n<p>French Montana and Max B have collaborated for nearly two decades, beginning with their Coke Wave mixtape series. Max B walked free in November 2025 after serving 16 years of a 75-year sentence handed down in 2009 for his role in a New Jersey robbery that ended in a man\u2019s death. Through a series of appeals and plea deals, his sentence was reduced multiple times, and he was released in November 2025 after serving 16 years.<\/p>\n<p>The show also carries a local connection. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/redmcfly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Red McFly<\/a>, a Lehigh Valley-based producer signed to French Montana\u2019s label, produced four tracks on Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos \u2014 including the album\u2019s opening and closing songs \u2014 and said he has five or six productions on the upcoming Wave Gods 2: Cosmos Brothers. He said he expects to perform at the June 27 show.<\/p>\n<p>Red McFly said the Archer fills a long-standing gap in the local music scene. \u201cIt has to be a really small artist, or it has to be a really big artist to fill up the PPL Center,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re never able to get that tier in between, which is what the majority of the artists are that we listen to.\u201d He said the venue recalls what Crocodile Rock, a former Allentown club, once provided before it closed in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Archer Music Hall is a Live Nation-operated venue in the heart of downtown Allentown. The venue can accommodate up to 2,125 guests across its two performance spaces \u2014 the main Music Hall and the smaller Arrow room.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for the June 27 show went on sale Friday at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/wave-gods-narcos-tour-french-montana-allentown-pennsylvania-06-27-2026\/event\/3000647A224FA12B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ticketmaster.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-xl md:text-2xl font-bold text-white mb-3 leading-tight\">\n                This is the part where we ask.\n            <\/p>\n<p class=\"text-base mb-6\" style=\"color: rgba(255,255,255,0.75)\">\n                No billionaire owner.
