Grammy-award winning rapper Ludacris will perform as part of UNC’s Chapel Thrill concert series prior to the UNC vs. Clemson football game in Chapel Hill on October 4. UNC announced Ludacris as the performer earlier in September, and has now confirmed the performance time to be 10 a.m., before the Tar Heels and Tigers kick off at 12 p.m.

 

The performance stage is located on Polk Place in front of Wilson Library on the UNC campus and admission is free.

Ludacris has sold more than 24 million albums worldwide and recently performed alongside Usher and others at the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show in Las Vegas. His acting credits include a recurring role in the Fast & Furious franchise, as well as a role in the Academy Award-winning film Crash.

The Chapel Thrill Concert Series will return to campus before every UNC football home game this fall. Performers for the games on October 25, November 8 and November 22 have yet to be announced. Chase Rice and John Stone performed at the first two home games of the season.
