Viral Rapper Rich Amiri Is Heading To Buffalo For A Show
When you take a look back at the 2024 2024 concert, event, and show season, you will likely be hard-pressed to find a better year for entertainment in Western New York. We've spent quite a bit of time thinking about a year that could rank with last year and we're having a hard time doing so.
Just take a quick look at who came through Western New York and Southern Ontario last year: Drake and J.Cole, Shaboozey, Robin Thicke, Musiq Soulchild, Silk, French Montana, Mya, Xscape, SWV, Total, 702, Rob Base, Vanilla Ice, Young MC, Big Boi, T.I., TLC, Digital Underground, Tone Loc, The Ying Yang Twins, Pitbull, T-Pain, Nicki Minaj, Tyga, Fat Joe, Diana Ross, Ice Cube, Flo Rida, Janet Jackson, Lionel Richie, Earth, Wind, and Fire, Bell Biv DeVoe, Soulja Boy, and Jodeci all hit the region - and that's truly is just a small handful of performances that hit the region. By all accounts, it seems that 2025 will have a hard time tying to top what we had in 2024.
However, while there are a ton of shows that have not yet been announced when you look at the shows we know about so far, this might turn out to be a pretty good year.
So far, we know that Queen Mary J. Blige Is Coming To Western New York< and she's bringing Ne-Yo and Mario with her. Weird Al Yankovic is heading to the 716, along with Kevin Hart who's doing four shows in Buffalo. That's, of course, not to mention that Nelly is coming back to Buffalo, and this year, he's bringing Eve, Fabolous, Chingy, and more with him.
These are some great shows on the agenda for Buffalo, and now we're finding out about another show that is sure to make hip-hop fans happy.
