Atmosphere on Tour

Since the mid '90s, Minneapolis duo Atmosphere have built one of the defining careers of independent hip-hop - especially due to their frequent, commanding live performances. Atmosphere shows have been known to include freestyles, feats of turntablism and, of course, rapper Slug's deeply emotional lyrics and asides. In the early years, Atmosphere toured with the DIY determination of a punk band, and ultimately landed on the 2003, 2004 and 2005 editions of the Vans Warped Tour. Thanks to their electric live shows and dedicated fan base, Atmosphere have appeared at Bonnaroo, Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bumbershoot, Governors Ball, the HFStival and more, as well as headlining treks like 2008's Paint the Nation tour, 2011's The Family Vacation tour, 2014's North of Hell tour and 2018's Mi Vida Local tour. In 2008, Slug and his Rhymesayers label co-owners founded Soundset, an annual music festival in Minneapolis which has since become America's premiere hip-hop gathering. Atmosphere performs every year, of course, and guests have included Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Migos, Lauryn Hill, Future, Nas, Snoop Dogg and many more.

Atmosphere in Concert

Atmosphere - rapper Sean "Slug" Daley and DJ/producer Anthony "Ant" Davis - have built one of independent rap's defining empires. In 1995, Slug cofounded the Rhymesayers Entertainment record label in his hometown of Minneapolis, releasing freestyle and live performance cassettes of his crew Headshots. Atmosphere's debut album, 1997's Overcast!, promptly became a galvanizing moment for both Minneapolis rap and the personal, confessional style of underground rap that would follow. The group's deeply emotional and personal lyrics and intense touring schedule made them allies with the punk and alternative rock communities, and 2003's Seven's Travels was released in conjunction with Epitaph Records. Atmosphere have released nine albums on Rhymesayers and have collaborated with Tom Waits, Doom, El-P and more. Slug has appeared on tracks by Aesop Rock, Sage Francis, Blowfly, Brother Ali and more.

    Atmosphere never disappoints!

    by Jody on 11/19/23The Observatory North Park - San Diego

    Slug & Ant & Hebl really turned it up! Sound was great in The Observatory. Plenty of room. There was a group of kids called No Fun who opened up. Then Hebl (DJ) played a short set. Then Atmosphere. They played all their best songs. I never miss them when they roll through.

    Really enjoyed Slug and Ant with Atmosphere. Great venue, great vibe. I've wanted to see them for years but always sell out. Highly recommend.

    Outstanding

    by Erica on 11/19/23The Observatory North Park - San Diego

    This show gave the whole audience catharsis and reprieve and joy. Atmosphere's 25 odd years is easy to spot in terms of how deftly they engaged with the audience, and they've also managed to stay innovative and fresh. I'd had a rough week, and this was exactly what I needed.

    I saw Atmosphere live for the 4th time a few days ago and they were incredible. I'm definitely looking forward to the next show.

    Dream come true

    by Shook1 on 11/18/23The Bellwether - Los Angeles

    The Bellwether was the perfect place for an intimate and amazing Atmosphere show. This venue provided the setting for true fans to get a close up experience and chance to enjoy the music fully. Getting to meet Ant and Slug after the show was truly a lifetime opportunity.

    Amazing Always….

    by XPRESSIONWITWORDS on 11/18/23The Bellwether - Los Angeles

    Amazing show….a bit of bias I think since it is a HipHop show and in my personal opinion don’t compare to many other shows. It was a raw performance, great interaction and amazing sound! Slug once again amazed….even though in my opinion he was a bit under the weather and/or tired…fatigued he performed every song(long set) with incredible passion. Will attend as many as I can for as long as I can. Only downside is he didn’t see my Dinospectrum shirt lol
