Final Stop of Lethal North American Tour

This concert marked the last stop of Rico Nasty's Lethal North American tour, which began in September with a performance at Riot Fest. The tour supported her latest album, Lethal, released in May. This album is Rico’s third studio release and her first with Fueled by Ramen.

Previous Collaboration in 2023

Williams and Rico had collaborated on stage before, when Rico appeared at Paramore’s headlining concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles to perform “Misery Business.” Reflecting on that experience, Rico told Billboard:

“It was an amazing experience. And it felt like, I don’t know, my inner child really jumped out. And I hadn’t seen her in a while. Like I hadn’t seen her in a while on stage. I hadn’t seen her in a while backstage, like amongst the team like that. So I was like, ‘Wow, like this feels nice.’ And then I got to talk to Hayley.”
