The Cactus Jack rapper brought out numerous special guests, including SZA, who made an appearance to perform their 2022 SOS collaboration “Used.”
The Grammy-winning singer’s cameo drew a massive pop from the Big Apple crowd, as she emerged from the Mount Wilson Observatory-inspired stage structure. SZA gave Toliver a ton of love and flowers, while showing once again why she’s a massive fan of the Houston native.
“Make some noise for Don Toliver,” SZA said. “Listen, I might be your biggest fan. I’m not joking. Everything you ever made, you know how I already feel. Octane is incredible.”
That wasn’t the only surprise in store for the New York City ragers. Toliver brought out Sheck Wes, who nearly brought the building down with “Mo Bamba” ahead of the NBA Finals returning to NYC.
Peso Pluma continued the party while performing “La Bebe (Remix)” and premiering an unreleased song he’s got on the way with Toliver. SahBabii, who’s an opener on the trek, also popped back out for Toliver’s set to perform their “K9” collab.
“E85” has been an enduring hit for Don Toliver, as the Octabe opener remains inside the Billboard Hot 100’s top 40 this week (No. 38). The rapper kicked off his show with “E85” and then ran it back to close out the concert, but brought out Malcolm Todd to jam for a unique performance of the hit, which samples Todd’s “Chest Pain (I Love).”
2026 has been a special year for Toliver, who delivered his Octane album in January, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 162,000 total album-equivalent units, according to Luminate. The project remains at No. 13 on this week’s Billboard 200; Octane has spent more than four months on the chart.
The 31-year-old launched his Octane Tour at Rolling Loud Orlando in May. The North American leg of the trek continues on Tuesday (June 2) with a show in Baltimore before heading to Detroit and Toronto later this week.
