Jack Harlow performed hits by Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra alongside the Louisville Orchestra this weekend. Check out the footage below.
The rapper is currently on his fourth ‘No Place Like Home Tour’, which launched in 2021 and sees him perform at venues across his home state of Kentucky.
For the finale of the tour’s 2024 edition on Friday and Saturday (November 29 and 30), he played two sold-out shows in Louisville at the Kentucky Center For The Performing Arts’ Whitney Hall, alongside the Louisville Orchestra.
As well as opening with a live debut of ‘Ambitious’ from his latest album ‘Jackman‘ and closing with the first live performance of ‘Hello Miss Johnson’, he performed a couple of classic covers.
First, he took on Sinatra’s 1964 hit ‘Fly Me To The Moon’, dedicating it to Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear on Friday and his grandmother on Saturday. Later, he dedicated the Presley classic ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ to his father.

During the Saturday concert, Harlow told the crowd: “In 2022, we played KFC YUM Center for the first time. In 2023, we went to cities across Kentucky … now we’re here with the Louisville Orchestra and we want to keep this going, we have to keep this going, so what should we do in 2025? I’m open to suggestions,” per Louisville Courier Journal.
Proceeds from the tour will go towards the Louisville Orchestra, as well as educational and community programs that, according to the orchestra Chief Executive Graham Parker, have provided 35,000 people across Kentucky with access to free orchestral music.
In other Harlow news, late last year, he scored his first UK Number One with his hit ‘Lovin On Me’. The track, which samples 1995 R&B cut ‘Whatever’ by Cadillac Dale, became the most-streamed track in the UK with over 5.1 million streams.
