Dave Chappelle performs in Mountain View, California.
It's been a decade since Dave Chappelle held his legendary Brooklyn Block Party (captured on the 2005 film directed by Michel Gondry), performing stand-up alongside music from a who's who of neo-soul and hip-hop artists. And with the 10th anniversary of that event approaching, Chappelle will be resurrecting that dual format for a three-date run of performances at Radio City Music Hall, from June 24th to 26th, accompanied by the Roots, Janelle Monáe, Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes and DJ Premier – along with a full orchestra. Full details are available at the Radio City website.
The three-night stint will kick off on the 24th with a performance by the Roots, with the 25th including Busta Rhymes, DJ Premier and Monáe. Badu will finish out the run with a set on the 26th. More guests are expected to be announced. A ticket pre-sale for American Express Card Members will begin on Thursday, May 29th at 10 a.m. EST until June 1st at 10 p.m. EST; general public tickets – starting at $79.50 – will be available at Ticketmaster starting Monday, June 2nd at 10 a.m. EST.
These shows will follow Chappelle's sold-out five-night stand-up stint at Radio City, which runs from June 18th to June 22nd, but will not feature any musical guests.
Chappelle returned to the stand-up circuit in 2013, delighting his rabid fanbase after having spent several years away from the comedy world.
