GloRilla announces Glo Bash Memphis concert
GloRilla is closing out her explosive 2024–2025 Glorious Tour with a major celebration in her hometown — and Memphis is ready.
A Tour That Lived Up to Its Name
GloRilla’s Glorious Tour ran for a solid month and marked her first official headlining run. Named after her debut album Glorious, the tour made stops in over 20 major cities including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, and Atlanta.
With high energy and unapologetic Southern flair, the Memphis native delivered consistent crowd-pleasers and viral moments, proving she’s more than just a rising star — she’s a force.
Alongside her were three carefully chosen supporting acts: Queen Key, Real Boston Richey, and fellow Memphis artist YWR Rambo. Each brought something unique to the stage, giving fans a full spectrum of emerging hip-hop talent.
The Big Finale: Glo Bash in Memphis
Though the main run of the Glorious Tour ended weeks ago, GloRilla saved the most meaningful stop for last — Memphis.
The Glo Bash is set to take place on July 25 at FedExForum, the city’s biggest indoor arena and home of the Memphis Grizzlies. This isn’t just a tour stop; it’s a homecoming celebration, and fans from across the South are already planning trips.

Who Joined GloRilla on Tour?
Queen Key
Chicago rapper Queen Key turned heads with her raw lyricism and bossed-up stage presence. Her 2024 project Rich Off Head showcased her versatility, and she proved on stage that she’s more than ready for the mainstream. She’s also been dominating with her new “Hell Woods 2” single featuring GloRilla and her “Watch This” mixtape, which was released last week.
Real Boston Richey
Florida’s own Real Boston Richey came through with momentum after his project Richey Rich stirred buzz in the streets and online. His Southern drill sound added grit to the tour’s mix, and his chemistry with GloRilla during their joint performances was a highlight.
YWR Rambo
Memphis’ YWR Rambo brought the local love. His surprise appearances on select dates helped drum up excitement for what many hoped would be a Memphis grand finale — and now it’s official.
‘Glorious’ — The Album That Started It All
GloRilla’s 2024 debut studio album Glorious was a game-changer. It debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200, selling 69,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. That made it one of the highest-charting debut rap albums of the year by a female artist.
Tracks like “TGIF”, “Yeah Glo!”, and “Rain Down on Me” featuring gospel legends Kirk Franklin and Maverick City Music displayed her range. She blended trap with gospel, crunk with introspection — all without losing her signature Memphis bite.
It’s no surprise Glorious earned critical praise, streaming success, and Grammy buzz. GloRilla didn’t just drop an album — she carved out her own lane.
GloRilla: From Memphis to the World
Born and raised in the Frayser neighborhood of Memphis, GloRilla (real name Gloria Hallelujah Woods) broke out with her 2022 viral hit “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)”, produced by Hitkidd. The anthem became a cultural movement, landing her a record deal with Yo Gotti’s CMG label.
Her next major hit, “Tomorrow 2” with Cardi B, showed she wasn’t just a one-hit wonder. That track charted high and earned her first platinum plaque. Since then, she’s been on a steady rise — appearing at award shows, on SNL, and headlining her own tour just two years into her mainstream career.
What sets GloRilla apart is her authenticity. Her accent, her lingo, her energy — it’s all Memphis. And she doesn’t water it down for anybody.
Why the Glo Bash Matters
The Glo Bash isn’t just a concert. It’s a statement.
In recent years, Memphis has become a hotbed for hip-hop talent. Artists like Moneybagg Yo, NLE Choppa, Key Glock, and the late Young Dolph have all helped spotlight the city’s sound and hustle.
But GloRilla’s success hits differently. As a woman, especially in a male-dominated Southern rap landscape, she’s breaking barriers. The Glo Bash is symbolic — a celebration of what’s possible when talent, timing, and tenacity align.
Expect cameos. Expect surprises. Expect Memphis to show up and show out.
How to Prep for Glo Bash
Whether you’re a local or traveling in for the big night, here are some evergreen tips to make the most of the Glo Bashexperience:
1. Plan Parking Early:
FedExForum is in the heart of downtown Memphis. Use nearby parking garages or rideshare apps. Be prepared for traffic on concert night.
2. Dress Smart (and Fly):
Concert venues get hot. Memphis is humid in July. Dress cool and stay stylish — Glo fans go big with fits.
3. Hydrate Beforehand:
Stay hydrated throughout the day, especially if you plan to pregame.
4. Arrive Early:
Opening acts are worth seeing, and security lines can be long. Doors usually open an hour before showtime.
What’s Next for GloRilla?
After Glo Bash, fans are wondering: what’s next?
There’s speculation of a deluxe edition of Glorious, possible collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion, and even talk of a documentary. With her growing popularity and industry respect, GloRilla is set to have an even bigger 2026.
In an era where authenticity wins, GloRilla continues to stand tall — loud, proud, and Memphis made.
GloRilla’s Glorious Tour was more than a concert series. It was a cultural moment — a coming-of-age for an artist who turned viral fame into a lasting career.
The Glo Bash in Memphis will be the crown jewel — and fans know it. Whether you’re a die-hard day-one supporter or new to her music, July 25 at FedExForum is shaping up to be unforgettable.
So if you’re thinking about going — don’t wait. Get those tickets, get your crew together, and get ready to glow with Glo.
