Run the Jewels Took Four Albums Through Terminal 5

Run the Jewels began the RTJX anniversary tour at Terminal 5 in September 2023 with a format that needed four nights. Each evening centred on one of the duo’s four albums, played in full alongside additional material.

The first show, on September 13, started with the self-titled debut from beginning to end. Its second set moved into songs from the later records. That structure let Killer Mike and El-P revisit the individual albums without limiting each concert to a single release.

The New York residency continued through September 16 before the format travelled to Chicago, Atlanta and Los Angeles. Terminal 5 supplied the opening chapter: a decade of music divided into four distinct evenings, with the albums providing the route through the partnership.
