Denzel Curry in Pittsburgh

From down south in Florida up to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Denzel Curry brought the heat to Stage AE on April 21, 2025.  The amount of moshing and energy brought from the pit was unparalleled for a Monday in Pittsburgh.  All three openers, CLIP, 454 and Kenny Mason, all had at least one mosh pit. When Denzel came out, the crowd absolutely lost it. Not even three songs in and the crowd was sweating, screaming and going bar for bar with him. One thing Denzel Curry did, which I think is a fantastic flex, is playing one of his most popular songs early in the setlist, like “Walkin’”.  It shows that his fans aren’t just there for just the most popular songs; however, he did hype up his hits. Before “HOT ONE”, he opened the pit as wide as the whole bottom floor (I lost my earring after moshing in that pit). Denzel knew his fanbase and was pushing up their hype song after song.
