Chase Atlantic at The Fillmore

Chase Atlantic

Before making waves under the moniker Chase Atlantic, the Australian trap pop trio cut their teeth in boy band What About Tonight and lit up Aussie TV screens as contestants on the country's season 4 of The X-Factor.

Suicide Boys at Little Caesars Arena

Suicide Boys

Combining a flurry of genres and influences from punk rock icons like the Misfits and Minor Threat with the slick production and sparse, hypnotic beats of hip hop and trap, the Suicide Boys are proving themselves a force to be reckoned with. The duo, comprised of rapping Ruby Da Cherry aka Suicide Leopard and producing Slick Sloth, call their unique fusion horrorcore glitch-trap and are bringing its bone-shaking bass and dark rhymes to you once again!

Vince Staples at Cathedral Theatre

Vince Staples

Things have been looking up for California-born rapper Vince Staples since the release of his debut album, Summertime '06, in 2015. Fresh from his successful Netflix show 'The Vince Staples Show' and his new album 'Dark Times', Staples is now headed out on a tour of his own for 2024. The inhaler-wielding, straight-edge artist may not bear his peers' face ink or ice insignia, but listening to his lyrics will prove that Stapes is much more than he appears.

Jelly Roll at Little Caesars Arena

Jelly Roll

Nashville native rapper JellyRoll saw his music career kick off in 2010 when his track "Pop Another Pill" with Lil Wyte received over 1 million hits on YouTube. Two years later, he released his debut "The Big Sal Story" and "Whiskey, Weed & Waffle House" in 2013, which famously landed him in a court case with the popular restaurant chain. Today, the rapper has 18 albums under his belt and is preparing to hit the road on the Beautifully Broken tour!

Trippie Redd at The Fillmore

Trippie Redd

One of the SoundCloud era's brightest stars hits the road once more in 2024 as he brings his 'Phase I Midwest' tour to fans across, well, the midwest.

Yung Gravy at The Fillmore

Yung Gravy

From the barrage of YouTube stars comes another fresh-faced musician. Aptly named Yung Gravy, the star has taken the music world by storm for his comedy-laced rap, unique take on trap music, and his fun-loving attitude.

Die Antwoord at Cathedral Theatre

Die Antwoord

For those who don't know yet Die Antwoord (Afrikaans: "The Answer") are a futuristic rap-rave crew from South Africa who represent a fresh new style called Zef, itself a combination of rejected elements from past styles.

The Movement at Saint Andrews Hall

The Movement
