Just a Dream? Three-time Grammy Award winner Nelly to headline Late Night in the Phog
It’s getting hot in here ... It is summer in Allen Fieldhouse, right?
Three-time Grammy Award-winning rap star Nelly will headline KU’s 40th Late Night in the Phog, the school announced on Thursday.
Late Night in the Phog is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 18. Last season, the artist chosen to headline the event was Flo Rida.
“Fusing musical genres, and engaging in multiple entertainment mediums including music, television and film, Nelly has continuously raised the bar for the entertainment industry since stepping on the scene in 2000 with his distinctive vocals and larger-than-life personality,” KU Athletics said in the release.
The tradition of Late Night started in 1985 and features music by the KU pep band, routines from the KU spirit squad, coach and player introductions and scrimmages for both KU basketball teams.
More information on Late Night, including Phogfest, will be released at a later date. Information on how to claim tickets will also be announced later.
