Hip-hop fans are getting a major live music moment this fall as legendary rap duo Clipse and Grammy-nominated rapper J.I.D prepare to headline Red Rocks Amphitheatre on November 12, 2026.
The highly anticipated show marks the biggest Colorado headline performance to date for both acts and brings together two generations of elite lyricists for one unforgettable night. Rising artist Samara Cyn will open the show as special guest support.
Clipse, made up of brothers Pusha T and Malice, continue their celebrated comeback following the success of their Grammy-winning album Let God Sort Em Out. Produced by longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams, the project reminded fans why the duo remains one of the most respected acts in hip-hop history.
Emerging from Virginia Beach alongside The Neptunes in the early 2000s, Clipse helped define an era with classic albums like Lord Willin’ and Hell Hath No Fury, known for sharp storytelling, minimalist production, and timeless street records.
Joining them is East Atlanta star J.I.D, who has steadily become one of rap’s most respected lyricists through projects like The Never Story, DiCaprio 2, and The Forever Story. His Grammy-nominated album God Does Like Ugly, which features Clipse on the song “Community,” further pushed him into hip-hop’s top tier.
Known for his rapid-fire flow, technical skill, and energetic live performances, J.I.D continues expanding his reach through collaborations with artists like 21 Savage, Doja Cat, and Imagine Dragons.
Presented by AEG Presents Rocky Mountains, the show further cements Red Rocks as one of the premier destinations for major hip-hop performances and cultural moments.
Tickets officially go on sale Friday, May 15 at 10 a.m. local time following multiple presale opportunities throughout the week.
