Last year, Young Thug was finally freed from jail after he accepted a plea in his incredibly long RICO trial. Thug will now face a 15-year probation, but he's back to the business of making music and, now, performing. Earlier this year the Chicago rap festival Summer Smash announced that Thug would make his post-jail live return as the headliner of the festival's final night. On Sunday night, Young Thug played that live show -- his first performance since his 2022 arrest, and his first time doing more than a few tracks since Governors Ball in 2021.
Young Thug pointedly opened last night's set with his YSL track "Take It To Trial." He did a number of his biggest songs, and his set included guest appearances from Travis Scott, T.I., and Ken Carson. Carson guested on a new track that's reportedly called "R.I.P Scuti," presumably from Thug's upcoming comeback album Uy Scuti. Thug also stagedove at one point. It doesn't necessarily come off as the smoothest live performance, but it's still a real occasion. Below, check out a bunch of videos of Thug's set, as well as the setlist, via Setlist.fm.
