Migos, Vic Mensa To Perform At Justin Bieber Show At Gillette Stadium

FOXBOROUGH, MA — One of the hottest rap groups around is joining Justin Bieber at Gillette Stadium this summer.

The pop star announced Monday that Migos will join his tour as a supporting act. Vic Mensa will also perform at the Aug. 29 show.

Migos have taken the music world by storm; their seminal album C U L T U R E, released via Quality Control Music/300 Entertainment, debuted at the top of the Billboard Top 200, has already been streamed over 1 billion times and is RIAA certified Platinum. Their single “Bad and Boujee” has not only hit #1 on the Billboard Charts and received an RIAA Platinum certification, but also has become immortalized as a symbol of modern pop culture. Members Quavo, Offset and Takeoff erupted onto the scene back in 2009 with a sound that blends the authentic tradition of ATL hip-hop with their signature flow and earworm hooks unlike anything else. With national performances on live television such as Saturday Night Live with Katy Perry, Ellen and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and a spot alongside Future on the recently wrapped sold out “Nobody Safe” arena tour already under their belt this year alone, Migos are bringing the culture everywhere they go.

Vic Mensa is a 23-year-old Roc Nation phenomenon on the verge of global greatness. His debut album “The Autobiography” is a culmination of his life experiences, woven into one genius narrative. Mensa digs deeply into his past (“Didn’t I,” “Heaven On Earth”), proving how it affects his present (“Rollin Like A Stoner,” “Down 4 Some Ignorance”), and how to move forward with his future (“We Could Be Free,” “Rage”). Strategically sequenced from start to finish, the project discusses love and loss, while also tackling Mensa’s struggles with addiction and depression. With production from Pharrell Williams, No I.D., and 1500 or Nothin, plus guest appearances from the likes of Ty Dolla $ign, Saul Williams, and Chief Keef, Vic Mensa has crafted an intensely intimate sonic memoir with The Autobiography. Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Vic Mensa first came into fame in 2013 as part of rap collective SAVEMONEY with Chance The Rapper. He has since forged a path for himself, earning a spot on the coveted XXL Freshman cover in 2014, bookended by his critically acclaimed INNANETAP

Tickets for the show can be purchased though Ticketmaster or at the Gillette Stadium box office.
