August 21st, 2025 at Goldfield Trading Post – Roseville, California was straight-up insane. Twiztid rolled through with their “Freak Show” 25th Anniversary Tour and brought some serious heat with them. The lineup was stacked from top to bottom, and every single act brought their A-game to this intimate venue that was absolutely perfect for this kind of raw underground energy.
🔥 Americaz Mozt Haunted Set the Tone
These guys kicked things off right, coming out swinging with that gritty underground sound that immediately let you know this wasn’t going to be your typical Thursday night. Their opener hit hard, and by the time they dropped into “Nightmare Fuel,” the crowd was already losing their minds. The production was dark and heavy, exactly what you want from an opening act that knows their job is to wake everyone the hell up. They did exactly that.
🎯 Reddstar’s Precision and Power
Reddstar stepped up next and completely switched the vibe with some seriously polished flows. Dude’s got confidence for days, and it showed when they launched into “Bad Decisions” – that track had the whole room bouncing. Their delivery was sharp as hell, like they was throwing down challenges with every bar. When he closed with “STFU”,” people were screaming his name like he was headlining the damn show.
⚡ Bake Lo Brought Pure Raw Energy
Holy shit, Bake Lo brought the energy. This dude was pacing the stage like a caged animal, and his voice just boomed over everything. “Street Sermon” got the crowd hyped, but it was “Hustle Hard” that really got people moving. You could tell he absolutely loves being up there performing – that kind of energy is infectious as hell. By the time he wrapped up, the room was buzzing and ready for whatever came next.
👁 Sorry X – Theatrical & Emotional
Then Sorry X came out and completely flipped the script. This performance was theatrical as fuck in the best possible way. Her voice on “Bleeding Heart” was haunting and beautiful, cutting right through all the noise. The way she moved between vulnerable and explosive was incredible to watch. “Dark Angel” had everyone swaying and screaming along – you could feel how much the crowd connected with every single word. She carved out her own lane in the night and owned every second of it.
🪶 ABK (Anybody Killa) – A Tribal Veteran Returns
ABK hit the stage and the longtime fans went absolutely nuts. You could tell who’d been following him for years because they were singing every word before he even started. “Mudface” got a massive reaction, but it was the classics like “Sticky Icky Situations” that really brought the house down. The way he weaves his Native heritage into his storytelling is something special, and live it hits even harder. Dude’s still got it after all these years, no question.
☠️ Blaze Ya Dead Homie – Horrorcore Heavyweight
When Blaze stormed out, the whole venue shifted into this darker, more menacing energy. That undead gangster persona was on full display, and the crowd ate up every second. “Dead Walking” rumbled through the room with that deep voice of his, but “Casket” was the track that really got everyone moving. The horrorcore theatrics mixed with that street swagger made for one hell of a show. This felt like a celebration between old friends, and Blaze knew exactly how to work the crowd.
🧪 Twiztid – Freak Show, 25 Years Later
And then came the main event. Jamie Madrox and Monoxide Child hit the stage for their “Freak Show” 25th Anniversary set, and it was pure fucking magic from the first note. The stage lights bathed everything in these twisted colors while they opened with “Freak Show” itself, and the crowd response was deafening. Every single person in that room was screaming along to every word.
They tore through the classic album with the same intensity it had 25 years ago, but with all the skill they’ve picked up along the way. “We Don’t Die” had the whole place jumping, “Mutant X” got everyone’s hands in the air, and when they hit “Afraid” the energy somehow got even more intense. The chemistry between Jamie and Monoxide was flawless – the banter, the synchronized movements, the way they fed off each other and the crowd.
But it wasn’t just the “Freak Show” material. They mixed in tracks from across their catalog, and newer cuts like “Rose Petal” showed they’re still evolving and creating. The horrorcore visuals, the booming production, the razor-sharp lyricism – everything came together into this full-on spectacle that reminded everyone why Twiztid has been leading the underground for 25 years.
When they closed out the night, the roar from the crowd was something else. This wasn’t just a concert – it was a celebration of a movement that’s still going strong, a family reunion for the underground, and proof that Twiztid still owns every stage they step on.
Goldfield Trading Post was the perfect venue for this kind of intimate, intense show. Sometimes the smaller rooms just hit different, and last night was definitely one of those times. If this tour is coming anywhere near you, don’t sleep on it. This is underground music at its absolute finest.
