Soulja Boy is bringing The Drip Tour to The Jefferson Theater on May 5

Soulja Boy brings The Drip Tour to The Jefferson Theater on May 5, 2026. Lil Xan opens the night. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. ET.

Soulja Boy pulls roughly 8.2M monthly listeners on Spotify and 12.0M on Instagram, with 184K fans tracking the act on Bandsintown.

The act

Formed in 2004, out of Atlanta, GA, Soulja Boy has been touring behind a strengthening catalog into a live act with national reach.

DeAndre Cortez Way is a Mississippi-born, Atlanta-raised rapper and producer who broke in 2007 with the Billboard No. 1 single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)." He pioneered the YouTube-and-MySpace independent release model that reshaped the next decade of hip-hop marketing. Later releases on Interscope and his own ColliPark imprint kept him in the touring circuit through the 2010s and 2020s.

The venue

The Jefferson Theater sits at 110 East Main Street, a 750-capacity historic 1912 theater operated by Starr Hill Presents under booker Danny Shea.

Jefferson programs eclectically across Americana, indie, country revival, hip-hop, and themed dance nights. The room runs 750 general-admission, with sightlines from front-of-house to the back of the floor.

The night

Doors 7:00 PM. Set 8:00 PM. All ages. Ticket prices are set on the on-sale.

Lil Xan opens at doors with a 30-minute set.

Why now

Soulja Boy is currently routing The Drip Tour, and the Charlottesville stop fills a midweek window between corridor dates.

Soulja Boy pulls a measurable 98/100 share of Charlottesville-metro listeners on Spotify, including a non-trivial DC and Richmond overlap that often crosses for shows at this size.
