Rico Nasty

Knockdown Center

Maspeth, Queens

Tickets from about $38 (DICE)

Official site
Rage rapMaspethDoors 6 PM

The rage-rap originator headlines Maspeth's cavernous warehouse venue night, with doors at 6 p.m. and tickets from about $38 on DICE.

Rico Nasty is one of the few rappers whose shows run on genuine mosh-pit physics, and Knockdown Center's cavernous brick warehouse is built for exactly that. The sugar-trap pioneer turned rage-rap standard-bearer has only pushed further into distorted, scream-along territory that lands hardest live. Doors at 6 p.m. on a Sunday mean you get the full chaos and still make it to work on Monday.

What to expect

A standing, general-admission warehouse show that plays more like a punk gig than a rap concert — expect pits during the heavy cuts and singalongs on the melodic ones. Doors open at 6 p.m., so it's an early night by Knockdown standards.

Good to know

  • Tickets are on DICE starting around $38 — buy through the official listing, as resale prices run far higher.
  • Doors at 6 p.m. Sunday; check the DICE listing for set times, openers, and any age restriction.
  • Knockdown Center is at 52-19 Flushing Ave in Maspeth — the nearest subway (Jefferson St L) is a roughly 20-minute walk, so budget for a bus or rideshare.
  • It's a standing warehouse show; wear shoes you can move in if you plan to be near the pit.
