D12 & FRIENDS BRING LEGENDARY HIP-HOP TO CANADA THIS AUGUST WITH “IT AIN’T NOTHING BUT MUSIC FESTIVAL”
Detroit’s iconic rap crew D12 is heading north for a two-city takeover this August with the D12 & Friends: It Ain’t Nothing But Music Festival — a two-day celebration of legacy, loyalty, and lyrical firepower. Presented by Robbie G Presents and the International Touring Agency, this is more than a festival — it’s a full-on cultural moment for hip-hop fans from Alberta to Ontario.
Catch the shows:
- August 22, 2025 – River Cree Casino & Resort, Enoch, AB (18+ indoor festival)
- August 23, 2025 – Bush’s Watersports Park, Bala, ON (All ages, outdoor festival with camping)
Headlining both nights are D12, with their live band, delivering high-energy performances and a deep connection to their fans.
They’re joined by a curated lineup that spans generations of hip-hop: Souls of Mischief, Onyx, Classified, Peter Jackson, Robbie G, and Eli Ble$$ed — son of late D12 founding member Big Proof — will all hit the stage to deliver a one-two punch of nostalgia and new school energy.
“This is more than a concert — it’s a celebration of music, loyalty, and the connection we’ve built with our fans over the years,” said D12 in a joint statement. “Canada has always felt like a second home to us. We always get so much love and support there, and we can’t wait to see you guys again and make new memories together.”
Celebrate 20 years of Big Proof’s iconic album Searching for Jerry Garcia at this year’s festival. A special tribute will honor the album’s legacy and its impact on the music scene. Don’t miss the chance to relive this timeless classic with fans old and new!
Fans in Edmonton and Bala can expect custom ads and exclusive promo content tailored to their cities — from camping perks and waterside vibes in Bala to the high-gloss indoor experience of River Cree in Enoch.
Festivalgoers can also look forward to exclusive D12 merch drops, interactive experiences, food vendors, and Meet & Greet opportunities that will bring them face-to-face with the artists. The weekend is designed for die-hard fans, crate-diggers, and new listeners alike — a rare chance to catch these heavyweights in an intimate, high-energy setting.
