The Astro Amphitheater in La Vista exploded with raw energy and genre-defying performances on April 23rd as the Hollywood & N9ne Returns Tour rolled into town. Featuring a stacked lineup of Zero 9:36, Set It Off, Tech N9ne, and Hollywood Undead, the night delivered a fusion of rock, rap, and high-octane showmanship that left the crowd electrified.
Zero 9:36 kicked things off with dark vibes and heavy beats, immediately pulling the early crowd into his gritty, emotional world. His fusion of rock and rap was magnetic, with tracks like “Adrenaline” and “Underneath” hitting especially hard. Zero 9:36’s stage presence is growing with every tour, and it showed—their intensity set the tone for the chaos to come.
Set It Off followed with a genre-hopping, high-energy set that flipped the mood in the best way possible. Mixing pop-punk hooks, cinematic flair, and some theatrical flair, the band brought relentless charisma. “Fake Ass Friends” turned the whole venue into a singalong, and their tight musicianship kept the momentum surging.
Then came Tech N9ne, the veteran and Kansas City icon, who put on a clinic in speed, flow, and stage command. His hour long set was a masterclass in technical rap performance—tracks like “Worldwide Choppers” and “Red Kingdom” shook the venue. Accompanied by backing band and drenched in red lighting and LED fire effects, Tech’s set blurred the line between hip-hop concert and heavy metal spectacle.
Closing out the night, Hollywood Undead stormed the stage with their signature former-masked CHAOS, fusing rap, rock, and punk in a way only they can. With a setlist stacked with bangers like “Undead,” “War Child,” and “Gravity,” they had the crowd in a frenzy from start to finish. For almost an hour and a half, the band members traded vocal duties and instruments with seamless chemistry, and their relentless energy ensured that the night ended on a high note of anarchy and adrenaline.
From start to finish, the Hollywood & N9ne Returns Tour stop at The Astro was a genre-blending riot. Each act brought something unique to the table, creating a night that appealed to rap heads, rockers, and everyone in between. La Vista got a show it won’t forget anytime soon.
For anyone who missed it—this was one for the books.
