‘216 Day’ is special in Cleveland, and Sunday’s show at TempLive proved to be just that.
Last night lowkey felt like a family reunion.
Z1079/93.1 WZAK’s 216 Day concert featured dozens of acts, from up-and-comers to the city’s OGs. It went down at Cleveland’s historic TempleLive at Cleveland Masonic on Euclid Ave.
Artists included Chip The Ripper, Ray JR, Erika Kayne, BossBird, Joe Little, Zoo Crew, Aunti Piggy, Pooh Gutta, Preme Dibiasa, Lil Cray, Cartier, Buddy Vonn, Big Indo and so many more.

The show kicked off just after 7 o’clock. From 5:30 to 8 Z1079 and WZAK partnered with business owners in Cleveland to come seel their merch.
Notable Moments
Deep into Ray Jr’s set, he made a somewhat surprising announcement. Ray claimed that last night’s performance of his Cleveland classic with Erika Kayne Can IÂ would be the last time he’d perform that song in his career. Kayne laughed when she replied, insinuating that she didn’t necessarily agree with that statement.

Speaking of Erika Kayne, she shared a special moment with Cleveland when she brought her two-year-old son out. She shared that the last time Z1079 and WZAK did a 216 Day concert in 2023, she was actually pregnant with him, but hadn’t realized it yet.
Sunday’s show demonstrated the power of camaraderie and unity between artists, their fans, and Cleveland’s legendary radio stations.
