A stacked Labor Day weekend hip-hop bill lands at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida on Saturday, September 5, with Lil Baby and Kodak Black headlining Fall Fest 2026 alongside YFN Lucci, Yung Miami, 42 Dugg, Rob49, YK Niece and 1900rugrat. The event is set for 8 p.m. local time, and the show pulls together performers from Atlanta, Florida, Detroit, New Orleans and beyond for one night on the arena floor.
The lineup, reported by Hip Hop Vibe, includes some of the South and Midwest's most talked-about current acts. Ticketing partner SeatGeek lists the Fall Fest start time at 8 p.m., matching the venue's own schedule, and tickets remain available through SeatGeek for the show at the arena's 1 Panther Parkway address in Broward County.
Kodak Black Returns to His Broward County Backyard
For Kodak Black, Fall Fest amounts to something of a homecoming. The Pompano Beach native was awarded the Key to the City of Pompano Beach in July 2025 by local officials recognizing his philanthropic work across Broward County, according to Villij News. That civic honor followed years of community giving, including a 2022 payment covering rent for 28 West Palm Beach families, per HotNewHipHop's report on the gesture.
Hoodline has previously covered Kodak's key to Pompano Beach as well as his legal troubles from an MDMA trafficking charge in Orange County earlier this year. Those two threads — the local philanthropy and the ongoing legal headlines — continue to run alongside each other as he takes one of the marquee slots at this Sunrise show.
Yung Miami Rides a Career-High Hit Into the Show
Yung Miami, the Miami-raised half of the now-disbanded City Girls, arrives at Fall Fest riding the momentum of her single “Spend Dat,” which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August, according to Hip Hop Vibe. Complex reported that the track marks her highest-charting solo hit since City Girls split in 2024, and she released an official remix on August 28 featuring fellow Fall Fest co-headliners Lil Baby and Kodak Black.
The remix effectively ties three names on the same bill together through fresh music released within the same week the festival was being finalized. It is a small but notable overlap for a lineup already built around Atlanta, Florida and Detroit rap scenes converging on one Broward County stage.
YFN Lucci Headlines After Parole, Legal Case
Atlanta's YFN Lucci brings a different kind of storyline to the bill. He was released on parole from the Georgia Department of Corrections in January 2025 after pleading guilty in January 2024 and having already served nearly three years in jail by the time of his sentencing, according to 11Alive. Fulton County prosecutors had recommended his early release, the station reported. Since then, Lucci has released the *Already Legend* album, his first project since 2020, and continues to lean on his signature record “Everyday We Lit” in live sets, per Hip Hop Vibe.
Detroit's 42 Dugg carries a comparable arc into the show. He was released from federal prison in October 2023 after serving six months for failing to surrender on an earlier illegal firearms charge, and was greeted by label head Yo Gotti upon his release before returning to the studio, according to The FADER.
New Orleans and Florida Round Out the Bill
New Orleans rapper Rob49 released his new single “In The Club” featuring Sexyy Red last week as the lead track for his upcoming project *Life of the Party*, BroadwayWorld reported, following his June 13, 2026 Smoothie King Center headline show. West Palm Beach's 1900rugrat, per Bandsintown, and YK Niece also appear on the Fall Fest bill, rounding out a roster that Hip Hop Vibe notes spans Atlanta, Florida, Detroit, New Orleans and other parts of the country.
Venue Details and Ticket Information
The arena, home to the NHL's Florida Panthers, is owned by Broward County, sits near the Sawgrass Expressway and I-75, and welcomes more than 1.2 million guests and hosts over 125 events annually, per Visit Lauderdale.
The Florida Division of Arts and Culture also addresses the state's arts and cultural industry. A Broward County report says the economic impact of event-related spending by arts audiences can be calculated for individual organizations or groups of organizations in the county.
Presales for Fall Fest opened in early July using the venue promo code SUNRISE, with general public tickets following via SeatGeek shortly after, according to Partyfess. Tickets for the September 5 show remain available through SeatGeek at the time of publication.
