Ice Cube and Mike Epps unite for Everyday’s Friday: Lyrics, Loungin’ and Laughing, a one-night-only event at the Long Beach Amphitheater on Friday, July 17, celebrating nearly 30 years of the iconic Friday franchise, and signaling the next chapter is officially underway. Featured guest performances include Warren G and Scarface.

Fans are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite Friday character for a chance to win cash prizes: 1st Place — $2,000, 2nd Place — $1,000, and 3rd Place — $500.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, May 15, at 10 AM local time. Fans can access tickets here.

Timed with Ice Cube’s ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium on May 12, the announcement taps into a full-circle cultural moment for one of hip-hop’s most influential figures.

The event will feature a live performance from Ice Cube, delivering his greatest hits, alongside a headline stand-up set from Mike Epps. Together, they mark a cultural milestone while building anticipation for a new installment of the beloved film series.

Since its 1995 debut, Friday has remained a defining piece of pop culture. Created by Ice Cube and rooted in real-life storytelling, the film introduced Craig Jones and later expanded with Mike Epps’ fan-favorite character Day-Day, solidifying a legacy that continues to resonate across generations.

“Friday has always been about and for the fans who made it a classic and kept it alive for nearly 30 years. To be able to step back out there with Mike Epps and bring that energy to the stage for a one-night-only experience in Long Beach is special. This show represents the beginning of the next chapter.” — Ice Cube

“Every day for the last 30 years someone has told me how much they loved The Friday Franchise and how much the characters mean to them. To reunite with Cube and bring this one night only experience to the fans is incredible.” — Mike Epps
