Liquid Stranger brings Electric Helix to The Fillmore Charlotte on Jan. 28

The Wakaan founder's new tour stops in Charlotte on a Thursday night, with Sully and Twopercent in support.

Charlotte's bass crowd has a Thursday circled. Liquid Stranger plays The Fillmore Charlotte on Thursday, Jan. 28, 2027, at 8 p.m., with Sully and Twopercent opening.

The show was announced last Tuesday, Nov. 3, and tickets are through Ticketmaster, where the night is billed as Liquid Stranger presents Electric Helix. The Fillmore holds 2,000.

Electric Helix is the newest name in a long line. Liquid Stranger builds each run around a theme and a title. In 2020 it was the 50-stop Ascension Tour, as EDM Identity covered; in fall 2022, the DIMENSIONS tour with Tripp St, Ravenscoon and Tape B; and in spring 2025, the Revolution Tour, which Stage Hoppers described as a push toward a new direction in bass music. Fans who follow him know each name usually comes with a new show.

He's also more than a touring act. Liquid Stranger founded Wakaan, the label and community that has grown into its own festival and a recurring Red Rocks event. The Daily Frequency reported on the third edition of Wakaan Rocks at Red Rocks in April 2026, and EDM.com has interviewed him about what building the Wakaan festival taught him about community and taking chances. When he tours, he tends to bring that crowd with him.

That's why a Thursday night at a 2,000-capacity room makes sense. Bass shows draw people who will make a weeknight work, and a headliner with his own label and festival behind him has a following that travels.

Sully and Twopercent open. Arriving early is the move for a bill like this; openers on a Liquid Stranger tour are often artists his audience ends up following afterward.

Plan for a long night if you're working Friday. Doors and set times will be posted closer to the date; the show is listed at 8.

January is a quiet month for big shows, which makes this one stand out. If you've been chasing the Wakaan sound on festival weekends, here's a chance to get it in your own city, on a Thursday, with a room full of people who came for the same thing.
