Whether you’re celebrating your birthday or not, you can be partying the night away with Lil Baby for his birthday concert at State Farm Arena on Dec. 9.

The Atlanta native made the concert announcement via Instagram, posting a somewhat mysterious flyer. On the flyer, you see Lil Baby front and center, with several different silhouettes of people behind him.

While we don’t know who’s included in the “friends” portion of the concert yet, we can assume there will be some huge names gracing the stage. Just last year, Lil Baby’s friends included several Atlanta natives: Gucci Mane, Young Thug, Gunna and Latto, as well as a bunch of other stars like 21 Savage, City Girls, MoneyBagg Yo, Lil Durk, Meek Mill, 42 Dugg, Fredo Bang, Lakeyah, EST Gee, Rylo Rodriguez and more.

Lil Baby has been a very busy man, making quite a few headlines lately. Most recently, the rapper was honored with his own day in his hometown of Atlanta. Nov. 13 is now officially recognized as Dominique “Lil Baby” Jones Day. Lil Baby received a proclamation from the Atlanta City Council at a special ceremony due to his successful hip-hop career and impact as a “musical ambassador” for Atlanta. The honor also acknowledges his “generous” philanthropic efforts, including launching “Four the People Foundation” and starting a $100,000 scholarship fund at his alma mater, Booker T. Washington High School. You may also remember that when Lil Baby released his song “The Bigger Picture” in 2020, he pledged $1.5 million of the proceeds to underserved neighborhoods. On top of that, this past summer, he was crowned ASCAP’s Songwriter of the Year for a second year, as well as receiving the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award at the 2022 Black Music Action Coalition Gala. The “Drip Too Hard” rapper took to Instagram to share his excitement about the proclamation.

Looks like Lil Baby has a lot to celebrate, and that’s exactly what he’ll be doing during his Lil Baby and Friends Birthday Celebration Concert. General public tickets go on sale Friday, Nov. 18 at noon.
