Legendary independent hip-hop duo Atmosphere is set to light up Brooklyn Steel (319 Frost St, Brooklyn, NY 11222)on January 22, 2026 as part of their highly anticipated Winter Carnival Tour. The tour also features performances by Sage Francis, R.A. The Rugged Man, a special appearance by Kool Keith, and a premier DJ set from Mr. Dibbs.
The 27-date tour kicks off in Nashville on January 15 and spans major cities including Chicago, Austin, Los Angeles, Seattle, Minneapolis, and wraps in Albuquerque on February 21. Tickets for the Brooklyn Steel are on sale now via atmospheresucks.com.
“When we first decided to pull this tour together, we wanted the lineup to feel like the ‘Atmosphere & Friends’ stage at the legendary Soundset festival,” says Slug. “I consider all of these featured artists friends of mine. Sage Francis and Mr. Dibbs have toured with me numerous times over the last 25 years. This is my first time traveling with R.A. The Rugged Man and Kool Keith, but anyone familiar with them knows how much party they bring. The Winter Carnival Tour promises to be a good time for everybody.”
Kool Keith adds: “I’ve been on a lot of stages, but this Winter Tour Carnival is gonna be sumthin different. Energy, creativity, and real hip-hop from the galaxies — that’s what I’m gonna bring to every city.” R.A. The Rugged Man states: “I’m excited and proud to be part of this iconic tour of independent giants and legends… I want to make this one legendary, a tour the fans remember for the rest of their lives!” Sage Francis notes: “It’s an honor to be part of an Atmosphere tour… I’m most excited about seeing how Kool Keith operates day by day. Absolute legend.” Mr. Dibbs adds: “Having played with everyone individually, I can’t wait to see what happens when five mini lion robots combine to form one giant super robot.”
The tour follows the release of Jestures via Rhymesayers Entertainment and marks Atmosphere’s 30th anniversary. The duo recently closed out the summer with a sold-out headline performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and completed the Dank Daze of Summer tour alongside Cypress Hill, Lupe Fiasco, and The Pharcyde.
This winter, Brooklyn fans can expect a night of high-energy performances, legendary MCs, and a celebration of independent hip-hop history.
