Detroit’s throwback radio station is celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop this July.

The genre hits a 50-year milestone this year, which was honored at the 65th annual Grammy Awards in February with a performance mashup featuring Missy Elliott, Run DMC, Salt n Pepa, Public Enemy, GloRilla, Lil Baby, and more.

Now it’s Detroit's turn to celebrate.

105.1 The Bounce is throwing a “Hip Hop 50th Anniversary” concert featuring legends Rakim, Doug E. Fresh, KRS-One, Slick Rick, EPMD, and Big Daddy Kane at the Fox Theatre on Saturday, July 15.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 21 via 313presents.com and ticketmaster.com.
