Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist Channel "Pulp Fiction" For Red Rocks Halloween Show

The historic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado held its annual Halloween bash on Friday (October 31), this time with Denzel Curry, Freddie Gibbs and the Alchemist, 2DeadBoyz (Flatbush Zombies' Zombie Juice and Meechy Darko) and Earl Sweatshirt.

Several people showed up in costume for the sold-out event, including some of the performers. To start off their set, Gibbs and Alchemist channeled Pulp Fiction and came dressed as John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson's characters from the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film.

After performing several songs from Alfredo 2 and other collaborative/solo works, Gibbs ran off stage for a quick costume change and returned as Frozone from The Incredibles franchise (voiced by Jackson), finally embracing the seemingly endless memes comparing him to the animated character.

Gibbs' enthusiasm over the Halloween holiday echoed throughout the crowd, with Freddy Kruger, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Michael Myers, vampires and ghosts among the many cheering them on.

Gibbs shared several Instagram photos of himself dressed as Frozone, one with a caption that read, "U could never," presumably a nod to the 9,525 tickets that were sold to the concert. Every time an artist sells out the venue, they get a plaque to commemorate the occasion.

Backstage, Curry chopped it up with Meechy Darko and Zombie Juice, who'd just finished their set. During Gibbs and Alchemist's performance, everyone flooded the side of the stage to watch, including Curry, Earl Sweatshirt, Meecy and Zombie Juice.

It marked one of the last shows on Gibbs' and Alchemist's Alfredo Tour, which continues November 7 in Portland, Oregon and wraps up in San Francisco on November 10.

Gibbs and The Alchemist have forged one of rap's most acclaimed partnerships, celebrated for merging streetwise lyricism with soulful, atmospheric production. Their collaboration officially began with 2018's Fetti (alongside Curren$y), but truly crystallized with 2020's Grammy-nominated Alfredo  a project that showcased the seamless interplay between Gibbs's reflective storytelling and Alchemist's gritty, textured beats.

The duo share an artistic mutual respect and a commitment to creative independence, allowing them to continually push boundaries while resisting industry trends. Alfredo 2 demonstrates their enduring ambition, underscoring a partnership built on loyalty and the pursuit of lasting artistic legacy.

Meanwhile, Alchemist is staying busy with multiple projects, including the long awaited Erykah Badu collaboration, Abi and Al. The duo teased a sample of the project in June with the release of "Next To You," which repurposes Alchemist's 1999 beat for Mobb Deep's "The Realest" featuring Kool G Rap.

Alchemist commented at the time, "For my brother Prodigy. Hope i'm making u proud Science!!!" The album was originally supposed to arrive over the summer but was delayed. A new release date has not been confirmed.
