TULSA, Okla. (Sept. 15, 2026) — The Turnt Up Tour, the ultimate throwback hip-hop experience featuring some of the biggest names of 2000s hip-hop, is heading to the stage at Hard Rock Live inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa on Friday, Dec. 18, at 8 p.m.

The Turnt Up Tour includes hip-hop hitmakers Paul Wall, the Ying Yang Twins, Petey Pablo and Twista to create a high-energy night filled with the hits that defined an era.

The lineup features Texas rap legend Paul Wall, whose career began in the Texas mixtape scene in the late 1990s. His 2005 platinum album, “The People’s Champ,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Wall also earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for his appearance on Nelly and Jermaine Dupri’s hit “Grillz.”

Joining Wall is the Atlanta hip-hop duo Ying Yang Twins, made up of Kaine and D-Roc. The group rose to mainstream success following the release of their 2002 album, “Alley: The Return of the Ying Yang Twins.” The duo became known for their distinctive Southern hip-hop sound and hits such as “Whistle While You Twurk.”

North Carolina rapper Petey Pablo gained national attention with his 2001 debut single “Raise Up,” an anthem that became a Southern hip-hop classic. His energetic style and unmistakable sound helped establish him as a standout voice of the early 2000s.

Rounding out the tour, Chicago rapper Twista brings his rapid-fire delivery and decades-long career to the lineup. His 1997 album, “Adrenaline Rush,” and hit single “Emotions” helped propel him into mainstream success, while his reputation as one of the fastest rappers in the world cemented his place in hip-hop history.

Together, the artists of the Turnt Up Tour offer fans a chance to turn it up with a night of star-studded classic hip-hop hits.

Tickets start at $49.50 and go on sale Sept. 18.
