In what could be his first performance since being released from prison last year, Young Thug is among the headliners for the annual hip-hop festival Summer Smash.
The “Trance” rapper will headline alongside Future, Don Toliver and Yeat during the festival at the SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois scheduled for June 20-22, 2025.
Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, will headline the third and final day on Sunday, June 22 which includes acts like Chance The Rapper, Quavo and Lil Yachty.
The Atlanta rap star was jailed between May 2022 and November 2024 on several charges relating to alleged street gang involvement with Young Slime Life (YSL). Yet he avoided more time incarcerated after pleading guilty in November returning home on probation.
On Wednesday, the rapper posted on Instagram a photo of himself performing, a treat for fans who’ve highly anticipated his return to the stage during the festival’s 7th edition.
“I feel lucky to be able to throw the party of the year with my best friends,” Summer Smash Festival co-founder Cole Bennett said in a news release. “May this be the best one yet. Lucky No. 7.”
