T-Pain packed Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 30 for the first concert of his two-night run. 

A prominent figure in the music industry, T-Pain is renowned for his innovative use of Auto-Tune and distinctive vocal style. Hailing from Tallahassee, Florida, he gained widespread recognition with hits like "I'm Sprung," "I'm ’n Luv (Wit a Stripper)" and the iconic "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')." His ability to blend R&B, hip-hop and electronic music has made him a versatile artist, collaborating with a diverse range of musicians.

Akon was a special guest for the show, opening up the night with a set of hits. Despite the cold temp, the vibe was hot, and it continued throughout T-Pain's performance.
