The excitement was palpable in the air as fans packed the arena to its limits, ready for a night full of music, surprises, and unforgettable moments. And boy, did they get that and more!
A Pre-Show Musical Treat
Before Rod Wave made his grand entrance, concertgoers were treated to an array of performances that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Opening acts included the talented Lil Poppa, Dess Dior, Toosii, and Memphisโ own superstar, Moneybagg Yo. The homegrown hero, Moneybagg Yo, received a rousing standing ovation from his fellow Memphians as he took over the stage.
With a set featuring nearly two dozen of his hits, Moneybagg Yo kept the energy high and the audience cheering. To add to the excitement, he brought out fellow artist YTB FATT, a rising star from his Bread Gang label, who performed a few tracks that got the crowd even more hyped. But the biggest moment was yet to come.
GloRilla Joins the Party
Just when the audience thought the surprises couldnโt get any better, the unmistakable beat of โOn Wat U On,โ a collaboration between Moneybagg and GloRilla, filled the arena. The crowd’s excitement intensified as GloRilla herself made a surprise appearance, much to the delight of everyone present. With her receiving two Grammy nominations just days before, GloRilla graced the stage with electrifying performances of her hits โTGIFโ and โHollon.โ Moneybagg closed out his set with an incredible proclamation from Shelby County Commissioner Mickell Loweryโwhat a way to cap off an already thrilling performance!
Rod Wave Takes the Spotlight
With the pre-show excitement behind them, it was finally time for the headliner, Rod Wave, to take the stage. The atmosphere shifted as stunning visuals and pyrotechnics dazzled the crowd, creating an utterly immersive experience. Rod Wave made his entrance in style, emerging from an elevator that rose up from the floor of the stage, showcasing a stunning display of diamonds around his neck and wrists. With no hype man in sight, he held the audience’s attention entirely on him alongside a talented DJ and live band.
Despite his latest album, Last Lap, being mere weeks old, the fans in Memphis were already in sync, belting out the lyrics to new tracks like โFall Fast in Loveโ and โPassport Junkie.โ The intimate atmosphere felt magical, as if the audience and the artist were sharing something incredibly special.
