Post Malone w/ Smokepurpp – Stoney Tour – SOLD OUT
SOLD OUT
Dropping basketball references like the old school but wrapping them in thoroughly modern beats, Post
Malone hit in 2015 with his single "White Iverson." He loved music from a young age, and planned on
joining a band thanks to the video game Guitar Hero, but when his dad gave him a copy of Terror
Squad's hit "Lean Back," Post decided to become an MC. A move to the West Coast dropped him in Los
Angeles. After putting some braids in his hair, he coined the term "White Iverson," and when he posted
the track in 2015, he hit a million views within the month. Malone then signed with the Republic label. It
was a huge opportunity for him and he fully exploited it. He worked with consecrated rappers like 50
Cent, Young Thug, and Kanye West. Additionally, he developed a friendship with Justin Bieber and
later joined Bieber on his Purpose World Tour. In 2016 he released “Go Flex,” which reached numerous
charts and marked his national television debut – Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Furthermore, “Déjà vu”, a
collaboration with Bieber, expanded his fanbase. The young artist released a “HIP HOP mixtape”
promoting his debut studio album. The mixtape, titled August 26th, was meant to indicate the release date
of the album. However, the album Stoney came out at the end of 2016. It was a massive success and sold
over 60K copies, more than any other fairly new artist in 2016. From this album, the promotional and
fifth single, “Congratulations,” featuring Quavo, is the most relevant. It accumulated over 25 million
Spotify streams. Post Malone’s next project is titled Beerbongs and Bentleys.

Doors: 7:30PM

Subsequently, Kamelot presented themselves more sinister and soulful on Ghost Opera and Poetry For The Poisoned, but have now returned to the melodic aspects of their multi-layered sound with the album, Silverthorn. The album, went directly to the top, debuting at the #1 position on Amazon’s Heavy Metal Chart! Along with this amazing accomplishment, Kamelot also impacted major charts in other categories including the #9 position on Billboard’s Hard Rock Chart, #24 on the Rock Charts, #79 on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart, as well as appearing on multiple international charts.

pop artist has been building a virtual army of fans. His millions of followers on social media call

Tory Lanez – Proceeds go to Team of Life (Big Mama Helps)
100% of proceeds go to the Team of Life (Big Mama Helps)
Tory Lanez was one of the more versatile commercial artists to surface during the early 2010s. A songwriter and producer who flits between and fuses R&B and rap — his vocals alternate between swift and rugged boasts and smooth and sensitive come-ons — he made steady strides toward the mainstream with numerous mixtapes, guest appearances, and self-directed videos. Although he was known underground well before his 20th birthday, and was supported early on by Sean Kingston, he made some of his biggest moves in 2014. During that year, he was featured on “Me & My Bitch” — a track off YG’s Top Five album My Krazy Life — and among his own tracks that circulated in 2014 was “The Mission,” his first cut to hit Billboard’s Twitter Emerging Artists chart. In July 2015, after he had signed an Interscope-affiliated deal with Benny Blanco’s Mad Love label, he released “Say It,” an R&B slow jam that sampled Brownstone’s mid-’90s hit “If You Love Me” and peaked the following February at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. A handful of additional tracks, including the dancehall-flavored “Luv” — his second Hot 100 placement — led to his debut album I Told You.

The Marcus Kind Band with special guest Bobby Lee Rdogers
Songwriter. Guitarist. Singer. Bandleader. At only 20 years of age, Marcus King’s dazzling musical
ability is evident throughout The Marcus King Band. Operating within the fiery brand of American
roots music that King calls "soul-influenced psychedelic southern rock," it highlights King’s gorgeous,
rough-hewn vocals, soaring guitar work and heartfelt songwriting all amidst a group of masterful
musicians who, together, are quickly becoming one of the country’s most sought after live acts. Raised in
Greenville, South Carolina, King was brought up on the blues, playing shows as a pre-teen sideman with
his father. Going beyond the sonic textures of his acclaimed 2015 debut; The Marcus King Band
broadens his sound, touching upon everything from funky R&B to Southern soul and Americana in the
process. His band gets in on the action too, stacking the songs with blasts of swampy brass, a lock-step
rhythm section and swirling organ. Ever the multi-tasker, King bounces between several instruments,
handling electric and acoustic guitar — as well as pedal and lap steel — while driving each track home
with his soulful, incendiary voice.
