(UPDATE 7/16/15) Iconic hip-hop group RUN DMC will be showing why King of Rock title is still theirs at Detroit’s DTE Energy Music Theatre on Sundaynight. Joined by other hip-hop heavyweights Naughty by Nature and Sugar Hill Gang, RUN DMC is finding considerable ticket demand for the one-off show on the secondary market.

No other shows are scheduled this summer for Run DMC, which has performed as the duo of Rev Run and DMC since Jam Master Jay’s untimely passing in 200. The group has performed sporadically over the years and is avid on one-off ordeals. 2001’s Crown Royal was the last studio release under the Run DMC moniker.
