Two of hip-hop’s most iconic crews—Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Three 6 Mafia—are joining forces for the first time on a national stage. The co-headlining Thuggish Ruggish Mafia Tour, produced by Live Nation, promises to deliver a gritty, nostalgic, and high-energy run across 24 U.S. cities starting August 21 in Rogers, Arkansas.
The lineup is stacked: along with Bone Thugs and Three 6, Tech N9NE brings his signature rapid-fire flows, while G-Funk legend DJ Quik joins as a special guest, adding smooth West Coast soul to the mix.
But Boston? Boston’s still waiting for its invitation.
When Leedz Edutainment, a longtime pillar in the New England hip-hop scene, shared the tour dates on Instagram, the caption spoke for a whole region:
“Damn ‼️ How’d we miss this one in New England ⁉️”
The tour will hit major cities including St. Louis, Nashville, Atlanta, Houston, and Phoenix, before wrapping up on October 4 at the Toyota Pavilion in Concord, California. Presales are already underway, with general on-sale which began Friday, June 13 via LiveNation.com.
Fans looking for the VIP treatment can also explore a range of premium packages via vipnation.com, including exclusive merch and meet-and-greet opportunities.
But for now, Boston fans are left watching from the sidelines—and hoping that a surprise addition might still be on the horizon.
Because when it comes to real hip-hop, Boston always shows up. Now it’s time for the tour to return the favor.
