Druski revealed the roster for his first Coulda Fest on Monday, July 22. The event, which is scheduled for September 7 at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, will feature a number of well-known comedians and artists, many of whom the actor-comedian has already worked with.
Leading the group are Lil Baby, Soulja Boy, and Kai Cenat. Other artists performing are Baby Kia, BabyDrill, Waka Flocka Flame, Yung Joc, and others. DJ Fresh will be behind the decks, while DC Young Fly is anticipated to co-host the celebration.
Starting on Wednesday, July 24, at 10 a.m. ET, the presale will begin. At the same time on Friday, July 26, general tickets will go on sale. View the announcement post from Druski below.
Coulda Fest isn’t going to be your typical comedy and music festival. “It’s going to be an evening filled with comic sketches that transport us back to those memorable moments in our city’s music history, as well as a celebration of Atlanta’s culture,” Druski told Billboard. “This idea has never been implemented before, so I’m excited to realize this vision.”
The fictional record label Coulda Been Records, which he originally established in 2019 in the sketch comic, is the source of the event’s name. “I entered it [looking for] talented artists,” he stated in an interview with Complex. “But I got something better out of it: a bunch of bad people with hearts.”
In 2024, Druski introduced “Coulda Been House,” a competition show that consisted of seven episodes during its initial season. BenDaDonn, Chris Brown, Crip Mac, Birdman, and Snoop Dogg made brief appearances. They collaborated with DJ Drama and the Maryland native on the song “Standin’ on Bihness.”
Acts on the festival’s schedule have also been quite active. It’s Only Me’s sequel is being worked on by Lil Baby, while Soulja Boy’s Swag Season will be released on Sunday, July 28. However, earlier in the year, Cenat attracted celebrities to his Twitch feeds, including Kevin Hart, Tyla, 21 Savage, and others.
