Records built
to be played
loud
Waka Flocka Flame has been headlining rooms since Flockaveli landed in 2010, and he has never made a record you listen to sitting down. “No Hands” went multi-platinum. “Hard in Da Paint” and “Grove St. Party” are still the records that turn a floor over.
He is not bringing a track and a hype man. He is bringing DJ Whoo Kid, the DJ who built his name on G-Unit mixtapes and Shade 45, on the decks for the full night. Polo Frost hosts. Five Michigan acts play before either of them touches the stage.
What is different here is the room. Most rooms this size give you a PA and a few pars. Diamondback gives Waka a JBL line array, a full moving light rig, lasers and 360° projection mapping across all four walls, so the visuals wrap the entire floor instead of sitting behind the stage. Go-go dancers work the cages over the crowd all night. That is the reason to see this set here instead of anywhere else on the tour.

The mixtape DJ who built his name with G-Unit and Shade 45. On the decks with Waka for the whole headline set.

for this
Diamondback is a historic Belleville building rebuilt as a production room. Line array, lasers, 360° mapping and go-go dancers working the cages over the floor. A rap show in here does not sound or look like a rap show in a converted bar.
“Our goal is to push the boundaries of what a live show can be. By pairing this level of talent with our immersive 360-degree production, we’re creating a groundbreaking experience for the fans.”Kelsey Lynn — Talent Buyer, Diamondback Music Hall

Straight answers
How much are tickets?
General admission is $60 in advance, which is $73.07 once fees are added. On the day of the show it goes to $75 face, $90.84 all in. VIP skip-the-line is $70 advance and $85 day of show. VIP booths are $100 per person for six, the 11:11 suite is $85 per person for twelve and the Diamond suite is $75 per person for twenty.
Is the show sold out?
Not yet. General admission and VIP skip-the-line are both still on sale. What has already sold out: the GA early-bird, the VIP skip-line early-bird, the GA pre-sale, both meet-and-greet add-ons, and two of the six VIP booths.
What time do doors open?
Public doors are 9 PM and the room runs until 2 AM. Meet-and-greet doors were 7:30 PM to 8:45 PM, but that add-on has sold out. Skip-the-line, booth and suite holders get priority entry the moment doors open.
What time is Waka Flocka on?
Late. Five Michigan acts play first, with Polo Frost hosting between sets, then Waka Flocka Flame and DJ Whoo Kid close the night. Exact set times are posted at the door on the night of the show.
What is the age limit?
18+ with a valid ID. Anyone who cannot present valid identification showing they are at least 18 will not be admitted and is not eligible for a refund. VIP booths and suites are 21 and over.
Is there seating?
The main floor is standing general admission. The only seating is in the VIP booths and the two stage-side suites, which are sold as group packages with a bottle minimum.
What does skip the line actually get me?
Priority entry at 9 PM. You come in through the VIP door instead of standing in the general admission line. Once you are inside you have the same floor access as everyone else. It is $10 more than GA in advance.
Where do I park and what does it cost?
On-site, $10. You can add a parking pass to your ticket order or pay $10 cash at the gate. Once the main lot is full we run a free shuttle from the overflow lot. Every booth and suite package includes parking.
How do I get my tickets?
eTickets are emailed closer to the event date. You can also choose will call and pick them up at the venue box office. Orders are limited to 20 tickets.
How far is it from Detroit?
About 30 minutes from downtown Detroit straight down I-94, and about 10 minutes from Detroit Metro Airport. The venue sits on the I-94 service drive in Belleville, so it is an easy exit-and-arrive.
