Clipse and J.I.D will be co-headlining a show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on November 12th, marking their biggest Colorado performance yet. It’s a highly anticipated hip-hop event for the famous venue. Up-and-coming artist Samara Cyn will open the show, bringing a fresh new voice to an already exciting night presented by AEG Presents Rocky Mountains.

The timing of Pusha T and Malice’s Red Rocks show isn’t accidental. Their recent return to hip-hop has been hugely successful, and their album Let God Sort Em Out – released independently with Roc Nation and produced by Pharrell Williams – even won a Grammy. Their dedicated fans always knew their unique, stripped-down, and precise style of rap wasn’t just popular for its time—it was ahead of the curve. After a sold-out national tour in 2025, including a show at Denver’s Mission Ballroom, performing at Red Rocks feels like the perfect next step.

J.I.D has established himself as a major force in hip-hop, taking a unique path to success. He first gained attention with projects like The Never Story and DiCaprio 2, then broke through with his contribution to Dreamville’s Revenge of the Dreamers III, which was nominated for a Grammy. His 2022 album, The Forever Story, was hailed as a modern classic, and the hit single “Surround Sound” went multi-platinum. His latest album, God Does Like Ugly, released in 2025 and featuring a collaboration with Clipse on the song “Community,” has propelled him to his biggest world tour yet, culminating in a performance at Red Rocks. Throughout his career, J.I.D has successfully collaborated with artists from various genres – including Imagine Dragons, 21 Savage, and Doja Cat – expanding his audience without compromising his artistic integrity.

This concert brings together two generations of hip-hop artists, both dedicated to quality music over commercial success. With Samara Cyn performing, the show isn’t just about looking back at the past; it’s a complete look at the genre’s history, present, and future. And there’s no better venue for such a special event than Red Rocks, a legendary outdoor amphitheater that has been home to so many iconic musical moments.

Clipse and J.I.D will be performing at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on November 12th. Tickets will first be available to artist fans starting May 13th, followed by sales for members of the promoter and venue on May 14th. Tickets will then be available to the general public on May 15th.
