Review + Photos: Lil Baby Torches Wells Fargo Center on the Wham Tour

The sold-out show was lit from the get-go with guest slots from ROB49, Loe Shimmy, and Philly's own Shaun Sloan

Lil Baby delivered a massive 29-song set packed with high-energy hits and fan favorites. “Listen Up”, “Free Promo”, and “Stiff Gang” as strong openers. Emotional peaks with “Emotionally Scarred” and “Stand On It”, really showcasing his lyrical depth and connection. Crowd-pleasers like “My Dawg”, “Southside”, “Yes Indeed”, and “We Paid” ignited spontaneous sing-alongs. A surprise cover of Central Cee's “BAND4BAND”, bridging international rap scenes. A mashup moment with “Drip Too Hard”, abbreviated yet electrifying.

The lighting and staging mirrored the WHAM album’s motif—dark with sharp red accents—creating a gritty yet stylish vibe. Baby's stage presence was magnetic; he moved fluidly, engaged the crowd with street tales and gratitude, and gave most of his attention to the front sections, making the massive venue feel personal.

Audio quality at Wells Fargo was solid—bass was punchy but well-balanced, vocals came through clean even during high-energy tracks.

Philadelphia showed out—fans sang every line of the big hits, cheering loudly during intros and breakdowns. There was a communal energy that flowed from track to track, with jump-circles and dancers forming for tracks like “Yes Indeed.” A TikTok highlight even captured the collective excitement during a surprise moment.

High-energy performance, strong setlist flow, solid production, and genuine engagement from Lil Baby.

The set was a bit short for fans wanting deeper cuts or more from WHAM. A few might've wished for encore surprises or guest cameos but none occurred.

Lil Baby's Philly show was a masterclass in modern rap performing—balanced between hype and heart. For fans of WHAM and earlier hits, the concert delivered exactly what was promised: a full-throttle experience marked by lyrical prowess, crowd interaction, and polished visuals. If you're following the tour, this stop proves the WHAM run is not to be missed.

All in all, Lil Baby brought Philly exactly what it wanted—raw emotion, chart-toppers, and a performance that resonated long after the final bar.
