Yung Gravy Announces Gravy Fest 2 in Minneapolis

One of Minnesota's biggest names in the music industry, Yung Gravy, has announced the return of his signature event, Gravy Fest, to Minneapolis this fall.

Born in Rochester, Minnesota, the rapper first found success posting catchy, quirky tracks on SoundCloud. While attending the University of Wisconsin, he secretly continued making music until his career took off. His blend of humor and hip-hop quickly set him apart from other artists, earning him a loyal following.

Yung Gravy Brings Back Gravy Fest to Minnesota

Yung Gravy rose to mainstream recognition in 2022 when his hit single “Betty (Get Money)” climbed to number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100. Since then, he has kept busy collaborating with a wide range of artists, from T-Pain and Lil Wayne to Shania Twain and Zac Brown. His unique sound and over-the-top stage presence have made him one of Minnesota’s most recognizable stars.

In 2024, Gravy launched the very first Gravy Fest by turning the final show of his “Grits & Gravy Tour” into a massive party. That night featured artists like Waka Flocka Flame, Freddie Dredd, and more, capped off by an electrifying headlining set from Gravy himself.

Now, the sequel is set: Gravy Fest 2 will take place on Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday, November 26, at The Armory in Minneapolis. This year’s lineup includes Pouya, 1900RUGRAT, Melly Mike, Pertinence, and additional guests still to be announced.

The all-ages event is expected to draw thousands of fans from across Minnesota and the Midwest. Tickets are on presale now through select outlets, with the general public sale beginning Friday, August 22, at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster.
