Trippie Redd, G Herbo, Cordae & More To Perform At Juice WRLD Day Festival

Trippie Redd, Cordae and G Herbo are just a few of the big names set to perform at this year’s annual Juice WRLD Fest, in honor of the late rapper.

The festival, which will go down at Chicago’s United Center, will also include performances from Lil Tecca, Ski Mask The Slump God, Bankroll Hayden, Sleazyworld Go, Lucki, DDG and Tana.

The festival was announced by Juice’s manager Lil Bibby, with tickets available now on the Juice WRLD Day website. The festival will go down on Thursday (December 8).

The lineup for the festival comes after the late rapper, who died in 2019 from an overdose-induced seizure, had a huge 2022, becoming the first artist to have four albums sell over 500,000 units each in 2022.

With only four albums to his name, that means all of Juice WRLD’s projects, including his most recent posthumous release Fighting Demons, has moved over 500,000 units, a momentous achievement for the Chicago rapper, who passed away from an overdose-induced seizure in 2019.

His manager Lil Bibby commemorated the occasion by posting a quote of his on Twitter.

“‘The goal in life is not to live forever but to create something that will. – Juice WRLD,’” Bibby wrote.

Juice WRLD’s most recent posthumous release Fighting Demons debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 when it dropped on the late rapper’s birthday last December, and moved 119,000 album equivalent units.

While Juice WRLD fans have remained devoted to bumping the rapper’s discography, Lil Bibby said managing his client’s music is a draining job.

“Ppl say we don’t put out enough music but then they say we do it for money,” he wrote on Twitter. “I will try my best, but I am human and I have feelings. This is not an easy job. Ppl making crazy allegations and saying hurtful things. I want to put out music because I know that’s what Juice wanted and I know the fans want it. But I sometimes want to quit.”

Back in October Lil Bibby laid a trap to trick hackers into not leaking Juice WRLD’s latest posthumous song, “In My Head,” which arrived on October 28. The Grade A Productions head uploaded a 30-second snippet of the track under the name “Rush Hour” to streaming services. In an Instagram post, Bibby revealed the fake song title was a deliberate effort to deceive hackers, who have leaked hundreds of Juice WRLD tracks in the past
