Tyler, The Creator performed his fourth show at the Don Haskins Center Feb. 14 for his “Call Me If You Get Lost” tour.
To kick off his latest album, “Call Me If You Get Lost” Tyler announced his U.S tour dates in August 2021, with ticket prices ranging from $32 to $269.
Tyler was joined by special guest performances by Teezo Touchdown, Vince Staples and Kali Uchis.
Anticipating his presence, fans filled the air with their voices echoing, “Tyler, Tyler, Tyler.” He then greeted the crowd with, “I wanna thank you all for coming out tonight.”
Tyler was seen performing various songs on different stage setups, such as a swaying yacht and outside of a turquoise mansion alongside a blue Rolls Royce.
He performed some of his most popular songs, such as “Yonkers” and “New Magic Wand.”
Kali Uchis performed for the second time at El Paso since the Neon Desert Music Festival in May 2019.
Uchis performed some of her most popular songs, such as “Telepetía” and “SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY.”
Prior to the show, fans waiting in line were excited to see Tyler’s performance.
UTEP Biology/Biomedicine graduate and longtime fan of Tyler, Celia Garcia stated that she was most excited to see Tyler perform his song “Lumberjack.”
Garcia was excited to be back at concerts after the halt in performances during the beginning stages of COVID-19.
“It’s so much better to experience them in person, so finally being able to come back, obviously still being careful, but being able to come back to see them in person, just the energy that you feel in the whole stadium is insane,” Garcia said.
The concert’s intended start time was 7 p.m. However, UTEP Special Events tweeted at 7:20 p.m., “Attention fans. We are putting the finishing touches to the impressive stage for tonight’s concert. We will be opening doors as soon as possible.”
Some fans were not able to see openers Vince Staples, Teezo Touchdown, and missed the beginning of Kali Uchis performance as they were still waiting in line to enter until around 9 p.m.
Some fans towards the front and inside the building were able to be seated at around 8 p.m.
Tyler, The Creator came on stage at around 10:30 p.m.
Despite the delay in start time, Tyler, The Creator was still able to put on an entertaining show for thousands of fans and will continue his world tour with his next Texas date March 27 in Houston, Texas.
