VonOff1700 headlines Red Flag two years after opening at The Pageant

The Chicago rapper's TG4L Tour stops in St. Louis on Sunday, Nov. 22, his first show here since a 2024 opening slot for Polo G.

The last time VonOff1700 played St. Louis, his name was further down the poster. That was Oct. 30, 2024, at The Pageant, on Polo G's bill. He's back on Sunday, Nov. 22, at Red Flag, at 8 p.m., this time as the headliner. Tickets are through OpenDate, where the date is listed as part of his TG4L Tour.

Red Flag holds about 1,000, which is a real room for a rapper who, two years ago, was the name you arrived early for.

Von, born Davon Meeks, is from Chicago, and his rise has been quick. He landed with Signal Records, a Columbia imprint, and kicked off 2024 with his debut mixtape, followed that June by a deluxe Bounce Out Edition with a G Herbo feature, per this profile. Later that year came #TurntUpNotBurntUp, credited to Signal Records/Columbia on Deezer. XXL put him in its The Break series for up-and-coming artists.

The Polo G connection didn't end with that Pageant date. In 2025 the two teamed up on "Move Wrong," which Ratings Game Music reviewed as the pair going full menace mode. If you were at the Pageant in 2024, you saw the early version of a partnership that has since put out music together.

Two years ago, he was the name you arrived early for.

That's the story of this date in one line: an opener comes back as a headliner. A Sunday night, a thousand-cap room and a tour with its own name is a different level from a support slot, and St. Louis fans who caught him first get to see what the last two years have built.

What to expect is simpler to say than to predict. Drill shows at this size tend to be loud, packed and short on patience for anyone standing still, and Von's catalog is built for that kind of room. The 8 p.m. start is listed; plan for it, and plan for a Monday morning that comes early.

The listing is on JamBase. Two weeks out, it's worth getting tickets before the week of, because a headline date in a room this size can move fast once the tour starts posting.

Last time he warmed up the room for someone else. This time it's his.
