G Herbo Brings Swerv & Friends to Chicago for His 30th Birthday

Chicago heavyweight G Herbo is celebrating his 30th birthday in the only way he knows how by throwing a major event for the city that raised him. The platinum-selling rapper just announced the first annual Swerv & Friends Birthday Bash, set to take over Wintrust Arena on Saturday, October 26, 2025.

Presented by 150 Dreamteam and BMN Entertainment, the one-night-only show will feature some of hip-hop’s most electrifying artists and special guests, alongside hometown fans ready to celebrate the milestone. The event is hosted in partnership with 107.5 WGCI, making it not only a concert but a cultural gathering for Chicago’s hip-hop scene.

Tickets are already available, and with anticipation this high, the arena is expected to sell out.

Anticipation Builds for

G Herbo

The announcement comes as G Herbo gears up to drop his highly-anticipated project Lil Herb, previewed exclusively through his official app. The album promises to be both a personal milestone and a cultural statement, tracing Herbo’s journey from the streets of Chicago to his place as one of hip-hop’s most enduring voices. Fans can pre-save the project and even catch an early snippet directly through the app.

From the Trenches to the Arena

Over the past decade, G Herbo has carved out one of the most consistent careers in Chicago rap. His discography includes standout albums like PTSD, 25, Swervo, and his debut Humble Beast, all of which climbed the Billboard Top 200. In 2022, he dropped the critically acclaimed double album Survivor’s Remorse, hailed by Rolling Stone as “another potent look into his rattled, conflicted psyche.”

Despite personal losses and the city’s ongoing struggles with violence, Herbo continues to channel pain into artistry. His mixtape Strictly For My Fans 2 (2023), collaborations with artists like Young Dolph and Nardo Wick, and his most recent exclusive drop Greatest Rapper Alive—which racked up 13 million direct-to-fan streams prove that his momentum isn’t slowing down.
