Concert is FREE to all fans attending Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate on Nov. 25
THE FLATS – Ludacris, one of the world’s most recognizable hip-hop artists and entertainers, will be the featured performer at Helluva Block Party Driven by Hyundai prior to Georgia Tech football’s regular-season finale versus archrival Georgia on Saturday, Nov. 25.
Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, who has sold more than 24 million albums worldwide, thanks to the blockbuster success of such singles as “Stand Up,” “Get Back,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Number One Spot,” “Money Maker” and “My Chick Bad,” is no stranger to the Georgia Tech-Georgia rivalry as an Atlanta resident and graduate of Atlanta’s Banneker High School. He will take the stage on North Avenue right in front of Tech Tower Lawn immediately following Yellow Jacket Alley, Georgia Tech football team’s gameday arrival at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field. Yellow Jacket Alley will take place two-and-a-half hours before kickoff, which is expected to be announced on Monday, Nov. 13.
Pregame concerts are FREE for all fans in attendance for the Georgia Tech-Georgia football game as part of Helluva Block Party Driven by Hyundai, which has transformed the Georgia Tech football pregame experience by bringing the excitement and pageantry of Tech football to one of the most visible and vibrant areas of campus and the city of Atlanta – North Avenue. A three-block stretch of North Avenue – from Techwood Drive/Centennial Olympic Park Drive to Tech Parkway/Luckie Street – is temporarily closed to traffic on gamedays to accommodate the activities.
