Billboard has published a "dream setlist" — an editorial wish-list rather than an official running order — ahead of J. Cole's The Fall-Off World Tour, which begins with two shows in Charlotte, North Carolina, on 10 and 11 July. The run marks Cole's first global tour in nearly a decade and his first US headlining tour since 2021's The Off-Season Tour with 21 Savage, making it a notable moment for fans given his stated plans to step back.

The article ties the imagined setlist to Cole's career, spanning early mixtape days through to The Fall-Off, the double album he released in February and has billed as his final record. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 — his seventh number one — with 280,000 album-equivalent units. Billboard's proposed opening songs include Fall-Off tracks such as "39 Intro", "WHO TF IZ U" and "Two Six", alongside older favourites like "G.O.M.D", "Wet Dreamz" and "Love Yourz" from 2014 Forest Hills Drive.
