About this show

Vince Staples plays Riviera Theatre, a 2,500-capacity large club in Uptown, on Sunday, November 8. The show starts at 7:30 PM. This one could sell out: big draw for a room this size (1.5M listeners, 2,500 capacity). Vince Staples also has 2 other dates on Go See Shows, in Denver and San Francisco.

It opens with the ephemeral sounds of nature. Birds, bugs, and airy notes chiming in the air. Then, the undercurrent of something darker, disrupting the fantasy: a distorted voice. “To live is to be,” the voice says, “Like the nigga in the tree.” This is how Dark Times, Vince Staples’ eighth studio album, begins. It’s a new era in the prolific artist’s canon, a muscular and revelatory work refining elements that have been present in his catalog for the last decade: dense lyricism over lush, layered beats; wry, melancholic observations about life; finding pockets of light in an endless dark. For Staples, the album is “a snapshot” of this period of his life.
