What to know before Tate McRae’s sold-out KC concert: Tickets, parking and more
Canada-born pop star Tate McRae headlines one of the last concerts of 2025 on T-Mobile Center’s calendar, and it’s a show that’s been sold out for months.
The highly anticipated concert comes to Kansas City on Tuesday, Oct. 28, marking the first time McRae’s performed in the area. At 22 years old, she’s already had an album debut at No. 1 on the Billboard with her latest release, “So Close To What.”
McRae first gained fame on the American competition series “So You Think You Can Dance” in 2016, finishing in third place and becoming the first Canadian finalist in the show’s history.
The dance skills are still on full display during her shows, where she breaks out complex routines while singing some of her biggest hits like “Sports car,” “It’s ok I’m ok” and “greedy.”
Kansas City’s show is also a homecoming for Maycee Steele, who has been one of McRae’s backup dancers since 2024. Here’s what else to know before Tuesday’s show.

Where can I park for the concert?
Downtown Kansas City has parking available near T-Mobile Center. The arena offers on-site parking in the magenta lot at 14th and Oak Streets, the red lot at 12th and Oak streets and the yellow lot at 13th Street and Grand Boulevard, which is the KC Live! garage.
You will have to purchase passes to these lots in advance online. The magenta lot costs $191.61, and both the red and yellow lots cost $30.79. Event parking opens three hours before the concert.
There are also over 40,000 parking spaces in the downtown area. Many are paid lots, but free street parking is available on a first-come, first served basis. You can also park farther away and take the expanded free KC Streetcar to the stop 14th and Main streets, the closest to T-Mobile Center.
You can’t park on Grand Boulevard and Oak Street in front of T-Mobile Center, since these streets will be blocked off for the concert.
If you’re being dropped off by a family, friend, Uber or Lyft, they can take you as close to the 13th and Oak Street entrance as possible. They may also drop you off on streets that aren’t blocked off in the Power & Light District or farther away if walking isn’t an issue.
The same is true for picking up concertgoers after the show. Communicate with your driver so they can find you once the show’s over.
