February in Columbus is a hard sell for going out. Richard Finger just gave the bass crowd a reason anyway.

Richard Finger plays Skully's Music Diner on Saturday, Feb 20, 2027, with JIQUI and Path in support. The show was announced Oct 30. Music starts at 8pm, tickets are $20–$25 through See Tickets via the link on our show page, and the room holds 1,100 — a mid-size crowd that will feel full on a winter Saturday.

If the name means nothing to you yet, the description that keeps coming up is a masked dubstep act known for gritty, heavy bass music and a mysterious, meme-driven persona. They work entirely behind anonymous masks, and they have leaned into that anonymity rather than explaining it away. In an industry that often sells the DJ's face first, Richard Finger sells the low end.

The rise has been quick. EDM.com ran what it billed as the act's first-ever interview, around their debut at Red Rocks, and this summer they were on the 2026 bill at North Coast Music Festival, where EDM House Network named them among the artists to watch. Festival listings this year also put them at Electric Forest and Shambhala, two of the places where bass acts go to prove they can hold a big crowd.

There is new music in the mix, too. In June they released "EAZY MF FINGER" with EAZYBAKED, which EDM Maniac reported as Richard Finger's first-ever collaborative release. Expect that one to get a run at Skully's.

Why this room? An act that has been playing festival stages could probably fill something bigger, and that is what makes a 1,100-cap date interesting. Skully's on North High puts the speakers close and the ceiling low, and for heavy dubstep that is the point: you feel the drops in a room this size in a way you do not on a festival field. For Columbus fans who caught them on a big stage this summer, this is the up-close version.

The support is worth showing up for on time. JIQUI and Path round out the bill, and an 8pm start means the night builds over several hours rather than cramming the openers into an empty room.

When to get tickets: now, if you are sure. At $20–$25, this is priced like a club show from an act with festival momentum, and those tend not to last until the week of. Check the See Tickets page for the age policy and any price tiers before you buy.

It is three and a half months away, which in Ohio winter terms is a long time. Put it in the calendar anyway. Come Feb 20, you will want somewhere loud to be.
