Courtside
Crawlers.

Courtside Crawlers is an independent guide to hip-hop nights in NBA cities. We track club nights, arena shows and festivals in Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Miami, Chicago and Las Vegas, and line them up against each city's home games — so a game night can turn into a night out.

How we pick

Every listing links to an official source: the venue, the promoter, the artist or the ticket seller. If we can't confirm it, it doesn't go up. We refresh the calendar every day and drop nights that have already happened. Things still change, so always check the official page before you head out.

Who we are

We're a small crew from Morioka, Japan, who also run Iwate Club Crawlers, a club guide for northern Japan. We love US rap and the NBA, and this is the guide we wanted when we travel.

Not affiliated

We aren't affiliated with the NBA, any team, venue, promoter or ticket seller. Team and player names are used for editorial reference only.
