Wild N Out Live landed in Stockton Saturday night and turned the Adventist Health Arena into a full-on celebration of hip hop, comedy, and culture. With over
10,000 people in the building, the tour stop, produced by 5120 Entertainmentand Rip Micheals, in collaboration with Vice Mayor Jason Lee, gave Stockton the kind of live show moment it’s been waiting for.
Nick Cannon opened the night flanked by the Wild N Out Girls , including 18 women hand-picked from Stockton. Their presence wasn’t just eye candy — it was a nod to local inclusion and set the tone that this stop wasn’t just happening in the city, it was of the city. The crowd energy was instant. Nick welcomed the arena, gave love to the 209, and got the night moving with intention and swagger.
Next, he introduced Soulja Boy, who came out swinging like he had something to prove. The arena erupted as soon as “Crank Dat” dropped, and from there, he coasted through fan favorites like “Donk,” “Turn My Swag On,” and “Kiss Me Thru the Phone.” But this wasn’t just a nostalgia act — Soulja was sharp, performing each track clean, live, and with full control of the stage. The crowd gave him his flowers in real time.
Nick Cannon returned post-performance and brought out the full Wild N Out cast: Rip Micheals, DC Young Fly, Conceited, Charlie Clips, Emmanuel Hudson, Pretty Vee, Jason Lee, and DJ D-
Wrek. From that point forward, the show turned into the high-energy, unscripted chaos fans love.
From Wildstyle battles to rapid-fire punchlines, and Stockton crowd members pulled into skits and games — the experience felt personal, not just part of a tour route.
At its core, hip hop stayed front and center. Whether through rhyme games, battles, or bars spit straight off the dome, the cast treated the mic like a weapon and the crowd like co-stars. The Stockton audience was fully locked in — laughing, shouting, reacting — and feeding off every beat drop and bar landed.
Closing out the night, DaBaby hit the stage and didn’t waste a second. His set was tight and aggressive — no filler. He performed “Suge,” “BOP,” “Shake Sumn,” and more, pacing the stage with the confidence of a true closer. No hype men. No distractions. Just him, his voice, and the crowd. At one point, he reached over the barricade to interact directly with fans, sending the arena into one last eruption.
Wild N Out Stockton wasn’t just a stop on a tour — it was a cultural reset for the city. A sold-out show, built with community, driven by music, and packed with energy the 209 will be talking about for years.
