On Thursday, January 22, 2026, the Winter Carnival Tour arrived to Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn, NY. The tour featured hip hop acts Atmosphere (with HEBL), Sage Francis, R.A. the Rugged Man (who was backed by Los Angeles’ DJ Lala, and brought both Bernadette Price and Danny Diablo to the stage), Kool Keith (who was joined by fellow Ultramagnetic MC, Ced-Gee plus Dennis Deft), and a DJ set by Mr. Dibbs.

I covered the show for Bowery Presents and the full gallery from the night is now available on “The House List.”
