DaBaby to Perform Live at the Clarksburg Amphitheater on Friday, June 19

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on April 27, 2026

One of hip-hop’s most recognizable and high-energy performers is set to take the stage this summer as eight-time GRAMMY® nominee DaBaby brings his electrifying live show to the Clarksburg Amphitheater for a special one-night performance on Friday, June 19.
 
Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, DaBaby exploded onto the global music scene in 2019 with his breakout project BABY ON BABY, featuring the smash hit “SUGE.”
 
He quickly followed with chart-topping albums KIRK and BLAME IT ON BABY, solidifying his place among the defining artists of modern hip-hop.
 
The latter produced the nine-times platinum No. 1 single “ROCKSTAR” featuring Roddy Ricch, which spent seven consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100.
 
Across his career, DaBaby has amassed more than 38 billion global streams, with 54 Billboard Hot 100 entries and 64 placements on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
 
Known for his commanding stage presence and crowd engagement, he has built a reputation as a must-see live performer.
 
“What a pickup for the Amp’s concert series this summer,” said Superintendent of Parks Doug Comer. “DaBaby brings an electric element to live music, and his show will have those in attendance talking about the experience for a long time. It is going to be an exciting evening at the Amp in June.”
 
In 2026, DaBaby entered a new era with the release of his latest studio album BE MORE GRATEFUL, a 23-track project highlighting both high-energy anthems and more personal reflections on growth, family, and perspective.
 
The album debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top Rap and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, while also landing on the Billboard 200.
 
Its breakout single, “POP DAT THANG,” continues to gain traction nationwide.
 
Opening the show will be local hip-hop artist King Dizzle (Josh Dunbar), whose music is rooted in real-life experience, resilience, and emotion.
 
Using music as an outlet to tell his story and connect with audiences, he has shared the stage with artists such as KRS-One, Machine Gun Kelly, Riff Raff, AR-Ab, Jimmy Wopo, Pretty Krissy, and Cuzzin Reece, building a reputation as one of the most energetic performers in the region.
 
“Josh is a tremendous talent, and we’ve made it a priority to showcase local artists whenever possible,” added Comer. “We are excited that DaBaby’s team approved him to open the show and start the night off. He is going to deliver a tremendous performance in front of his home crowd.”
 
Tickets are $72 Premium Seating / $62 Reserved / $45 General Admission
 
Tickets that can be purchased on Friday May 1 are expected to move quickly for this highly anticipated show.
