Hip hop events in Phoenix this December
AntTheVillain / Phoenix hip hop events, December 2026
December is one of the busiest months for events in Phoenix, and people are searching for things to do all month. If you're a hip hop fan, here are the dates worth putting on your calendar this year, plus a few things you can do any night.
Arizona Hip Hop Festival: Saturday, December 12
The 14th annual Arizona Hip Hop Festival is one of the biggest local hip hop days of the year, and I'm on the bill. If you only make one Phoenix hip hop event this month, make it this one.
Trippie Redd: Thursday, December 17
Trippie Redd brings The Non-Disclosure Agreement Tour to 9th & Jackson on Thursday, December 17. Ticket sites list it as an all ages show with doors at 7 PM. Check the venue or your ticket seller for the latest details before you go.
Get ready before you go
Want a feel for the Phoenix sound first? Watch the PHX Freestyle I recorded live on RTU Worldwide Radio over Murkemz's "PHX" beat, or read the interview where I talk about the festival.

Not every night needs a ticket. You can walk into my free VR album, the Villain Lair, from your phone, laptop or Meta Quest, shoot hoops in the virtual court and hear the music. And if you're new to the local scene, start with my guide to Phoenix hip hop.
Always check before you go
Dates and details change. Confirm times, ticket prices and age limits with the venue or ticket seller. I'll update this page if anything moves.
