Young Thug is set for his first concert since he was released from jail last year after agreeing a plea deal with prosecutors in his RICO trial.
It was confirmed in March that the Atlanta born star will be one of the headliners at this year’s Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash this weekend.
Now, Young Thug is hyping the event just days before it is supposed to take place with a video package released on social media that teases “THUGGER RETURNS”.
Thugger will close the event, performing in the headline slot on Sunday (June 22).

Elliot Montanez, director of operations for Lyrical Lemonade, said in a statement: “In a weird way, all of that happened with Summer Smash being one of the shows he was about to do before he went away for a little bit, and now Summer Smash being the first show [he’s doing] fresh out, it is full circle.
“I just think it’s interesting. I’m definitely glad that moment will be at Summer Smash, where fans will interact with him in person for the first time in a minute. But it’s a beautiful, full-circle moment.”

Young Thug was previously scheduled to co-headline the festival in 2022 with Gunna, however they were arrested shortly before the event took place and they were replaced by Lil Uzi Vert.

Thugger recently joked about quitting music to become a full time streamer.
Appearing on Adin Ross’ Kick stream, Thugger found out that the controversial streamer was making millions of dollars and appeared interested in a career change.
He said: “I’ma stop doing music and start streaming. I think I’m gonna stop. I’m telling ya, I’m done rapping and gonna start streaming.”
Thug then reasoned why he wanted to make the switch: “Y’all live a cool life. Y’all go everywhere everyday. Y’all got cats wondering around this bitch. Y’all got all types of crazy stuff.”

Ross also attempted to get Thugger to reveal the release date for his upcoming album Uy Scuti but was stonewalled by the Atlanta rap star.
No exact date for Uy Scuti has yet been revealed by Thugger, only that it will release this month.
However, there are only two Fridays left in June before July, meaning it will either be released very soon or the album is facing a delay.
