At just 15 years old, Stockton rapper TallyBando is proving she’s one of the most consistent and promising young voices in Northern California’s hip-hop scene. Known for her energy, work ethic, and steady stream of bangers, she’s been building a name through performances and collaborations that showcase both raw talent and serious potential.
After recently opening for Stunna Girl and performing alongside Big Sad 1900, TallyBando was scheduled to hit the stage again—this time as part of a stacked lineup featuring Big Sad and artists from the EBK movement, also repping her hometown of Stockton. The event, powered by Orepark, was held at Switch Lounge in Fresno and was shaping up to be one of her biggest moments yet.
Unfortunately, just before her set, the night took a turn. A violent altercation outside the venue—unrelated to the artists or the event itself—forced the entire show to shut down. Fans had already packed in, energy was building, and TallyBando was ready to represent for her city on a major platform.

Despite the shutdown, she hasn’t missed a beat. TallyBando has stayed focused and continues to push forward, staying active in the studio and proving that no single setback can slow her momentum. Her resilience in the face of disappointment has only added to her growing reputation as a young artist with a champion’s mindset.
Orepark has confirmed that efforts are already underway to reschedule the show, with increased structure and full police presence. Artists and fans who were impacted are being considered for the next lineup, and TallyBando remains one of the key artists expected to return for the encore event.
While the March 29th show didn’t go as planned, it’s clear the story is far from over. TallyBando has unfinished business—and when the time comes, she’ll be more than ready.
