Run the Jewels Announce Their First Live Shows in Nearly Two Years
El-P and Killer Mike will return to the stage for two shows in March 2027 as part of the opening of United Heritage Hall in Austin, Texas.
Run the Jewels have announced their first live shows in nearly two years, a return to the stage that will christen United Heritage Hall, a new venue in Austin, Texas with a capacity of 4,000. El-P and Killer Mike are scheduled to perform two nights, on March 5 and March 6, 2027, as part of the venue's grand opening.
The duo's announcement marks a significant moment for fans who have waited nearly two years to see the hip-hop group perform live. Run the Jewels, made up of El-P and Killer Mike, have built a devoted following over the past decade with politically charged, high-energy records, and a live show is often the centerpiece of their appeal. Opening a new hall in Austin gives the pair a prominent platform to mark their return to touring.
The shows will be among the first major events at United Heritage Hall, which is built to host concerts and other large-scale performances. A 4,000-capacity room sits between intimate clubs and arena-sized venues, which makes it a practical fit for an act of Run the Jewels' following. The opening dates give the venue an early marquee draw and set the tone for the programming that follows.
The announcement also lands during a busy stretch for the live music calendar in Austin. Consequence has separately reported that the UK progressive metal band Haken have announced a Spring 2027 North American tour in support of their new EP, in a fever dream. That run opens March 4 in Austin, then travels through Los Angeles, Chicago, Montreal and Atlanta before closing in Miami on April 2. Haken's route places the city at the start of their tour, underlining its growing role as a stop for touring acts in early 2027.
Ticket on-sale dates and pricing for the Run the Jewels shows were not included in the available announcement material, and no further statements from the duo or the venue were provided. Fans seeking tickets are directed to official channels for the performances and venue information.
