$uicideboy$ at Darien Lake Amphitheater | September 12, 2026
The Grey Day Tour has become one of the more quietly remarkable sustained runs in contemporary touring — a hip-hop amphitheater circuit built entirely without major-label infrastructure, now ranking among the top five highest-grossing rap tours for three consecutive years. Ruby da Cherry and $crim bring the 2026 edition to Darien Lake Amphitheater on Saturday, September 12, with doors at 6:30 PM. It is the kind of booking that rewards some reflection: two cousins from New Orleans, operating fully independently, selling out a major outdoor amphitheater in Western New York on a September Saturday.
About $uicideboy$
$uicideboy$ — cousins Aristos Petrou (Ruby da Cherry) and Scott Arceneaux Jr. ($crim) — built their audience the old-fashioned internet way: post the music, own the masters, trust the listeners to find it. They have never needed outside distribution to accumulate over 27 billion collective streams. In 2025, they were one of only two independent artists to appear on Spotify’s Top 10 Most Streamed Rappers list, a data point that speaks to the health of their operation more plainly than any press release could. Thy Kingdom Come, released in 2025, debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and delivered their fourth number-one on both the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Independent Albums charts. Thy Will Be Done followed in December 2025. Arceneaux produces virtually the entire catalog himself, under a pseudonym, which gives the body of work an internal coherence that most acts with far more institutional support struggle to achieve. The subject matter — depression, vulnerability, aggression — is not incidental to the audience’s loyalty; it is the entire point.
The Venue
Darien Lake Amphitheater sits on the grounds of Six Flags Darien Lake in Darien Center, roughly 25 miles east of Buffalo off Interstate 90 in Western New York. It is a large outdoor amphitheater — the kind of summer shed built for exactly this scale of touring. The September 12 date falls on the eastern and southern leg of the Grey Day run, which stretches through mid-October.
Tickets & Show Details
The undercard here is not an afterthought.

Premium upgrade options include The Deck Access, The Porch Access, Fast Lane entry, VIP Club seating, and parking upgrades. As with previous Grey Day runs, $1 from every ticket sold supports mental health initiatives through the duo’s PLUS1 partnership, a commitment that has been made central to the tour’s identity.
