“Hot Girl Summer” is officially underway, and the big kickoff party is Megan Thee Stallion’s blowout arena show at the Chase Center this Sunday, June 23.
The “WAP” superstar is one of the realest in the game, and the Hot Girl Summer tour marks her first headline tour ever, so you know she’s going all out. The tour supports her forthcoming third studio album Megan, but she’ll be playing music from throughout her discography, and you never know when there might be some surprises!

Best to start planning your outfits now, and for the rest of the need-to-know info, check our handy guide below.
First of all, whether you’re using rideshare to get to the venue or driving yourself, we highly recommend buffering your travel time with an extra half hour or so to account for heightened traffic in the area. Then go ahead and add another 15 minutes to handle your parking your own car.
The Chase Center offers space to pre-paid parking pass holders at two distinct garages: the Mercedes-Benz Garage, accessible from 390 16th St. and 99 Warriors Way; and the Warriors Way Garage, accessible at 150 Warriors Way. Both garages are set to open at 5 p.m. the day of the concerts, and both garages close at midnight. You can learn even more about how to reach these garages at chasecenter.com/parking.
If you didn’t nab a limited parking pass in time, there are third-party operated garages recommended by the Chase Center at 1800 Owens St., and the corner of 19th Street and Illinois Street. When there are no events at Oracle Park, the Chase Center also recommends parking at Lot A at 74 Mission Rock St.
Yes, we’re sure you have the cutest purse picked out for this highly-fashionable show, but if your bag is any larger than 14” long and 6” wide, it’s going to have to be checked at the bag valet on Terry A Francois Blvd for a $10 fee. Backpacks are never allowed, although smaller fashion backpacks and diaper bags that look like backpacks can get a pass if they meet the 14” x 6” requirement. All bags will be searched and screened.
First of all, get your tickets for Sunday’s show here. Now that that’s out of the way:
Printed tickets are a thing of the past at the Chase Center, because the venue has gone completely contactless—at least for entry. Make sure your mobile ticket is ready to be scanned once you get to security, either on your TicketMaster app or the Warriors + Chase Center Mobile App.
It’s always a good idea to download and access your ticket page before leaving the house, in case of a lowered cell signal due to crowds or lack of on-site WiFi. However, please be advised that screenshots of digital tickets don’t always work. Be sure to read the fine print of your mobile ticket.
Of course, Megan is bringing a fellow hot girl to warm up the stage. Tenessee rapper GloRilla is set to get the party started. The two recently collaborated on the single “Wanna Be.” Maybe Megan will even jump on stage to perform it live?
Doors open at 7 p.m., and the music is slated to start at 8 p.m., so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to grab a drink and find your seats.
The Hot Girl setlist starts with "Hiss," moves through bangers "Thot Shit," "Big Ole Freak," "Body" and more.
