A Decade of Acid Rap: Chance The Rapper to Headline 10th Anniversary Show in Chicago
In 2013, Chance The Rapper unveiled his groundbreaking mixtape, Acid Rap.
To celebrate the project’s 10-year milestone, the Midwestern artist has planned a special event in his hometown.
Chance The Rapper recently announced his return to Chicago’s United Center, his first performance there since 2019, to headline the Live Nation-produced “Acid Rap Ten-Year Anniversary Show” on August 19. Joining him at the home of the NBA’s Chicago Bulls and the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks will be fellow Chicago native Saba, known for his critically-acclaimed albums Care for Me (2018) and Few Good Things (2022).
In addition to the anniversary show, Chance The Rapper will release exclusive Acid Rap merchandise on April 30, and make the original format of the track “Juice” available on streaming services on the same date. The mixtape also includes singles “Cocoa Butter Kisses” and “Favorite Song,” as well as collaborations with artists such as Saba, BJ the Chicago Kid, Noname, Action Bronson, Ab-Soul, Lili K., and Nosaj Thing.
After Acid Rap, Chance The Rapper released the Grammy-winning Coloring Book mixtape in 2016 and The Big Day studio album in 2019. His upcoming project, Star Line Gallery, is anticipated for release later this year. Presale tickets and VIP packages for the “Acid Rap Ten-Year Anniversary Show” will be available starting April 26, with general tickets on sale from April 28 at livenation.com.
