Cap off spooky season with some of hip-hop’s finest this year. Halloween on the Rocks takes place on Oct. 31, 2025, at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Get tickets here.
On Oct. 31, 2025, Halloween on the Rocks will return to Red Rocks Amphitheater to celebrate its 10th anniversary. This event has always focused on hip-hop, starting with its inaugural show in 2015, which featured headliners Mac Miller, Action Bronson, and the Flatbush Zombies. This year, the iconic event will welcome an impressive lineup, including headliners Denzel Curry and Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist. The event will also feature performances by Earl Sweatshirt, Meechy Darko and Juice of Flatbush Zombies, and rising upcomer Lexa Gates.
Denzel Curry has been incredibly active lately. He is consistently releasing high-quality albums, with his most recent project being King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2. The deluxe edition was released in November of 2024. Billed as a commercial mixtape rather than a traditional studio album, the project features heavy instrumentals and a dark, unrelenting tone. It received critical acclaim within the hip-hop industry, further elevating Denzel Curry’s status as a talented lyricist.
Similarly, Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist are experiencing significant success with their collaborative album, Alfredo 2, released in July of this year. The Alchemist is recognized as one of the industry’s most talented and prolific producers. The chemistry between him and Gibbs is evident. His willingness to collaborate with new artists helps him remain relevant in hip-hop culture and continually pushes creative boundaries. Alfredo 2 stands out as one of the best hip-hop albums released this year, and Freddie Gibbs consistently delivers high-energy performances.
The lineup doesn’t stop there; the Flatbush Zombies, the only artist returning from the original lineup, will also take the stage. Although they haven’t released a full-length studio album since 2018, the group has been busy working on solo projects and side endeavors. Erich The Architect recently released a solo album, while the group’s latest effort, titled 2 Dead Boyz, is a collaboration with Meechy Darko and Juice solely. They will premiere some tracks from this new album at this year’s Halloween on the Rocks, making it a must-see event for fans of the Beast Coast hip-hop era.
