Chance the Rapper was at the Fillmore Auditorium on October 12 for his And We Back Tour, and delivered a performance that was equal parts spiritual, soulful and electrifying. From the moment he stepped on stage, the crowd was on their feet, vibing to hits like “No Problem,” “Blessings,” and tracks from his latest album, Star Line. His signature blend of gospel-infused hip-hop and uplifting energy turned the venue into a sanctuary of joy and lyrical brilliance. Backed by a live band and surprise guest appearances, Chance created an atmosphere that felt intimate yet explosive. Denver fans left the show buzzing, reminded of why Chance remains one of the most inspiring voices in music today.
