Migos Announce The Lineup For Their Las Vegas Weekender Fest, Including Duke Deuce, Gunna, And Lil Yachty

As Migos rolled out their album Culture III this spring, the Atlanta trap trio also revealed that they would be hosting their own festival in Las Vegas promoting the album in October (14-17). Now that it’s closer to the date in question, we have a better idea of what that festival is going to look like — especially since they’ve announced the headliners and more details about the event.

Far from being your usual field festival, they’re describing it as a full-on takeover, complete with pool parties, club nights, and of course, performances from Migos and their guests, which include fellow Quality Control Music artists like Duke Deuce and Lil Yachty, fellow Atlanta trap rap star Gunna, and some feminine representation from Kash Doll and Rubi Rose (who you may remember got her start as a model in their “Bad And Boujee” video with Lil Uzi Vert).

The venues include Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub and Area 15, with more to come. The “Migos curated Vegas experience” will even include custom food and beverage menus and event partner Pollen is offering a “COVID-19 Money-Back Guarantee to make the event 100% refundable if it is canceled or rescheduled due to COVID-19.”

Tickets will go on sale Monday, July 12 and more information can be found here.

For the last decade, the hip-hop magazine XXL dropped their Freshman list — their picks of the 11 names that were on the rise in the genre. This year’s list is a little different, as it includes the most women ever for a new class. Four female rappers — Flo Milli, Coi Leray, Lakeyah, and Rubi Rose — can be found on the 2021 iteration. Upon hearing the news, former XXL Freshman ladies Chika and Rico Nasty hopped on social media to show the newbies some love.

“Big Congrats to @_FloMilli @RubixxRose for making the @XXL list!!!” Rico wrote in a tweet. “Well deserved.” Flo Milli replied, “Thank you Rico, love you !” Chika gave a shoutout to Flo Milli as she’s a fellow Alabama rapper. “Congratulations @_FloMilli!” she wrote before adding, “Alabama royalty.”

As for the rest of the 2021 XXL Freshman class, Uproxx favorites like Blxst, DDG, and Pooh Shiesty can be found on the list. Other highlights include 42 Dugg, Toosii, Iann Dior, and Morray also appeared.

On a more recent note, Chika is just months removed from her Once Upon A Time EP while Rico Nasty found herself alongside Juicy J and Jasiah on a pair of tracks.
