If horrorcore rap is going to have a moment in the sun, $uicideboy$ will be the reason. New Orleans cousins Scott Arceneaux Jr. (pictured) and Aristos Petrou have made druggy lyrics, trap beats and big bass into a commodity, and built a fanbase that grows bigger each time the band rolls into town.

This time, the boys’ show is at Tampa’s second-largest venues, alongside genre-mates all playing a similarly gloomy, turnt up brand of pop.

Tickets to see $uicideboy$ play Amalie Arena in Tampa on Tuesday, Aug. 29 are still available and start at $46.90.
