Knocked Loose and Denzel Curry gave the first live performance of their collaborative single "Hive Mind" at a surprise pop-up show in Brooklyn, ahead of their upcoming co-headline North American tour. The Kentucky hardcore band and Florida rapper released the track in February, blending Knocked Loose's metalcore sound with Curry's rap delivery, and frontman Bryan Garris has said Curry was always the only artist he felt could pull off the collaboration.

The free show took place on Tuesday 28 July at Substance Skatepark, announced just a day beforehand and also featuring New York hardcore act Combust; Curry joined Garris on stage mid-set as the crowd moshed and crowd-surfed. "Hive Mind" marked Knocked Loose's first new material since their 2024 album "You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To", which featured the Grammy-nominated Poppy collaboration "Suffocate". The pair's 24-date "Hive Mind" tour begins on 26 September at MegaCorp Pavilion in Newport, Kentucky, and concludes in Mexico City on 8 November.
