Young Thug is officially set to make his live performance comeback after his release from prison last Halloween. However, U.S. fans may have to wait, as the rapper’s first show will take place overseas.
Thugger has been announced as a headliner for Les Ardentes, a major Belgian music festival, where he will take the stage on July 5. The festival’s organizers shared the news on Instagram, posting a flyer with the caption: “History. Young Thug is back to headline Les Ardentes! 5th July at Les Ardentes. Tickets on sale this Wednesday!”
According to the festival’s website, this will be Young Thug’s first time performing at Les Ardentes since 2017. “Eight years after his last visit to Les Ardentes, Young Thug is back,” the statement read. “See you on Saturday, July 5th for an ME-MO-RABLE show!”
His YSL label’s official Instagram account reacted to the news by commenting, “Slatt,” followed by a snake and lime-green heart emoji.
Despite his return to the stage, Young Thug still faces legal challenges. He is currently dealing with a civil lawsuit from entertainment company AEG, which claims he violated a 2017 touring agreement. The company alleges that the rapper never repaid a $5.3 million advance and had put up copyrights to his music as collateral.
“Such copyrights constituted collateral that was subject to the security agreement,” AEG wrote in its lawsuit, adding, “AEG has the right, pursuant to [agreement], to require that [Thug’s publishing company] and Mr. Williams assemble such [copyrights] and turn them over to AEG.”
Ken Carson is currently the only other American rapper confirmed for the festival, scheduled to perform on July 4.
