Nightmare on Channelside brings Kevin Gates and Kodak Black to Benchmark International Arena on Saturday, October 31, turning Halloween night into a multi-artist rap concert in downtown Tampa. Meek Mill, DaBaby, BossMan Dlow and Boston Richey are also on the announced bill, with a supporting lineup that continues well beyond the headliners.
Presented by The Mark Oliver Show and Tampa813Events, the concert takes place at 401 Channelside Drive. Gates open at 6 p.m., with the show scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, with current seat availability and pricing shown at checkout.
Kevin Gates and Kodak Black lead the bill
The current event flyer places Kevin Gates and Kodak Black at the top of the lineup. Beneath them, Meek Mill and DaBaby join a bill that also includes BossMan Dlow, Boston Richey, YKNiece and Belly Gang Kush. The evening brings those names together at one venue, giving the Halloween concert its central draw: several artists on the same night rather than a single-headliner stop.
The supporting roster also names Tom G, Diamond the Body, Benfrankoh and Cheeksbossman Gemg. The full lineup appears on the event’s official flyer, while the event website lists the performers individually. Artist appearances are subject to change, so ticket holders should check the current event listing before heading to the arena. The announced 7 p.m. start applies to the show; individual set times are not listed in the supplied flyer.
Halloween at Benchmark International Arena
The setting is Benchmark International Arena on Channelside Drive, with the entire concert taking place inside the arena. Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, and the 6 p.m. gate opening gives guests an hour before the scheduled show start. That gap is useful for getting through security and finding seats before the music begins.
Costumes are permitted under the venue’s published event policy. Masks must be removed during security screening, when purchasing alcohol and whenever staff request it. Costume props, including axes, swords, chainsaws and similar accessories, are prohibited. Anyone planning a costume around an accessory should check those restrictions before leaving home, rather than assuming an item will be allowed because it is part of an outfit.
Tickets and planning the night
The Halloween special offers any 100-level seat for $100 per ticket, with all fees and tax included. The offer is shown on the event’s latest promotional flyer. Tickets are available through the official Ticketmaster event page. Check the seating map for available 100-level seats when booking.
The key details are straightforward: Saturday, October 31, at Benchmark International Arena, 401 Channelside Drive, Tampa, FL 33602. Gates open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. The arena’s event page also links its visitor guide for arrival information and venue policies, making it a useful second stop when planning the evening.
