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.
Slug was amazing came out before and greeted everyone in line personally It was amazing and eyedea was just walking around in the back talking to fans. all in all the musicians were amazing and the music was even better thanks atmos.
Atmosphere put on a sensational show, they got the whole crowd into it and played everyone's favorites while still kicking ass all the meanwhile. The only down to this concert was the 2 bands who played before Atmosphere. The first group attracted to gods was actually pretty good instrumental wise but other than that wasn't that great. The next performers eyedea and abilities werent really that great either, the dj and instrumentals were really good but the vocalist/rapper was horrible.....but in the end it was all worth in the end when Atmosphere got on stage and rocked the mic. In the end i recommend this concert but also recommend getting a little later so you dont have to see the others perform......if you are any part of an Atmosphere fan you should absolutely go!
An overall amazing show. The set list was great. The croud was energetic. Great to meet Slug before the show!
the show was amazing, attractive to gods were really good, idea and abilaties were great, then atmosphere was great but thought he played a short set
This show was so awesome. Atmosphere had one heck of a setlist, they interacted with the crowd and overall, their performance was stellar!!!
i dont usually like this type of music but i relally enjoyed myself and had a good time listening to the music. There also really nice and funny!! professionals
Amazing, unforgettable, unbelievable, wicked awesome! nuff said.
The Crowd the hype hell even the opening acts were good but SLUG killed it mixing old with new and even adding a few surprising verses
Atmosphere rocked. The venue was a little loud, which kinda blended the music and rapping together and took away from the sound quality, but the show itself was incredible. Sean was energetic, outgoing, funny, thoughtful, humble, and appreciative. He was on it with his lyrics, and whenever he took time out to address the audience, he was charmingAlso, having the singer/guitarist from Attracted to Gods playing guitar with them was a nice touch. He added some real funk to the proceedings. Their DJ was solid as he is on their recorded tracks, although I could have used more keyboard. Either the sound was bad and I couldn't hear it very well, or he wasn't playing as deep as everyone else. Eyedea and Ability suck HARD. The DJ was great, had awesome beats, scratches, mixes. Lead singer was a complete tool. Screeching lyrics and behavior were like my 8 year old son throwing a tantrum. It is NEVER cool to drop to the floor while doing your set and roll around doing your angsty lyrics or address the audience with your back turned.
Slug is the man. He cam and chilled wth the folks lined up before the show. Then put on a very long amazing show! E&A was also excellent!
2 THUMBS UP....5 STARS..WHATEVER MEANS LOSE UR DAMN MIND OUT OF CONTROL AMAZING!!!!! IF U DON"T KNOW THEM U SHOULD MOST DEF CHECK EM OUT U WILL NOT BE SORRY!!
Awesome show! Atmosphere sounded great and played a good variety of songs. Love to see Slug in action! Too bad the opening band sucked. <3 Minnesota!
Once again slug and ant brought a great show on the road. You can never go wrong with an atmosphere show. No questions asked. Eyedea and abilities showcased their new style which is sure to be a hit.
Show was amazing, to begin meeting slug and ant outside in line waiting to enter was one of the coolest things. Setlist was great and opening acts were great. I highly recommend going to see this show every chance you get
Slug and Ant, plus musicians were great. Enjoyed the show. Webster Hall could have bumped the air conditioning, kind of a sweat box. Overall, Great...
great show - got right up front :D and the place was nice and small.
i'm not sure slug and ant could have done more to make this show amazing
Slug and Eyedea had really good energy and definitely had the crowd jumping. When Atmosphere came out, I thought the floor was going to collapse beneath me! Slug did a lot of older songs, and a few newer ones in addition to the setlist I wrote.
Hands down best concert I've been too. Bar none. Slug even came out and shook everyone's hand and took pictures before the show when we were standing in line to show appreciation for our support. Literally every single person. The show was sold out and he was out there for at least an hour.
Best concert I have ever been to.. Atmosphere is amazing. Great stage presence, keeps you entertained at all times, gets the crowd involved... Greatest concert ever. Wish he cam to NY more often. Cant wait til he comes back in town next year
