Memphis Comes Alive with Rod Wave’s Last Lap Tour

Memphis witnessed an unforgettable night this past Saturday as Rod Wave took to the stage at FedExForum during his highly anticipated Last Lap Tour. The excitement was palpable in the air as fans packed the arena to its limits, ready for a night full of music, surprises, and unforgettable moments. And boy, did they get that and more!

A Pre-Show Musical Treat

Before Rod Wave made his grand entrance, concertgoers were treated to an array of performances that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Opening acts included the talented Lil Poppa, Dess Dior, Toosii, and Memphis’ own superstar, Moneybagg Yo. The homegrown hero, Moneybagg Yo, received a rousing standing ovation from his fellow Memphians as he took over the stage.

With a set featuring nearly two dozen of his hits, Moneybagg Yo kept the energy high and the audience cheering. To add to the excitement, he brought out fellow artist YTB FATT, a rising star from his Bread Gang label, who performed a few tracks that got the crowd even more hyped. But the biggest moment was yet to come.

GloRilla Joins the Party

Just when the audience thought the surprises couldn’t get any better, the unmistakable beat of “On Wat U On,” a collaboration between Moneybagg and GloRilla, filled the arena. The crowd’s excitement intensified as GloRilla herself made a surprise appearance, much to the delight of everyone present. With her receiving two Grammy nominations just days before, GloRilla graced the stage with electrifying performances of her hits “TGIF” and “Hollon.” Moneybagg closed out his set with an incredible proclamation from Shelby County Commissioner Mickell Lowery—what a way to cap off an already thrilling performance!

Rod Wave Takes the Spotlight

With the pre-show excitement behind them, it was finally time for the headliner, Rod Wave, to take the stage. The atmosphere shifted as stunning visuals and pyrotechnics dazzled the crowd, creating an utterly immersive experience. Rod Wave made his entrance in style, emerging from an elevator that rose up from the floor of the stage, showcasing a stunning display of diamonds around his neck and wrists. With no hype man in sight, he held the audience’s attention entirely on him alongside a talented DJ and live band.

Despite his latest album, Last Lap, being mere weeks old, the fans in Memphis were already in sync, belting out the lyrics to new tracks like “Fall Fast in Love” and “Passport Junkie.” The intimate atmosphere felt magical, as if the audience and the artist were sharing something incredibly special.

Next Stop: Pittsburgh!

With such a remarkable night under their belts, fans undoubtedly left the venue buzzing with excitement. As Rod Wave’s Last Lap Tour continues, the next stop is set for Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Be sure to keep an ear out; it sounds like he has plenty more surprises up his sleeve!

For anyone who had the chance to witness this unforgettable night in Memphis, it will surely be a cherished memory that will last a lifetime. The energy, the surprises, and the music were proof that Rod Wave is indeed a force to be reckoned with!
