If “Cupid’s Chokehold,” “Stereo Hearts” and “Battle Scars” still have a permanent place on your playlist, Mission Ballroom is where you’ll want to be this Thursday.
gymclassheroes and Lupe Fiasco are headed to Denver’s Mission Ballroom this Thursday, September 17, bringing a night packed with the songs that helped define an era. They’ll be joined by special guests B.o.B and Affliction Music, making this a stacked throwback lineup for fans ready to revisit some of their favorite hip-hop and alternative hits.
Taking It Back to the Hits
gymclassheroes carved out a sound that blurred the lines between hip-hop, pop, and alternative music, becoming one of the most recognizable crossover acts of the 2000s and early 2010s. Tracks like “Cupid’s Chokehold” and “Stereo Hearts” became massive sing-along favorites — and hearing them live with a packed Mission Ballroom crowd promises a serious dose of nostalgia.
Lupe Fiasco brings another defining catalog to the night. The Grammy-winning Chicago rapper became known for pairing sharp lyricism with songs that could reach far beyond traditional hip-hop audiences. From “Superstar” to “The Show Goes On” and “Battle Scars,” his catalog is filled with tracks that still hit years after their release.
And the throwbacks don’t stop there.
B.o.B joins the lineup as a special guest, adding even more early-2010s nostalgia to the bill. The rapper behind hits including “Nothin’ on You,” “Airplanes” and “Magic” helped soundtrack the era, making this one of those concerts where you may know considerably more of the setlist than you expect.
Affliction Music rounds out the lineup.
