More Atlanta All-Stars at NHL All-Star Weekend
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The National Hockey League is taking even more advantage of having its All-Star weekend in Atlanta, by adding yet another Atlanta act to its musical line-up.
Five-time Grammy nominee Ne-Yo will be a part of the halftime activities Sunday at the All-Star Game at Philips Arena. (Previously, the R&B singer-songwriter was just scheduled to perform at a private party the night before - which he will still do.)
Ne-Yo will join Atlanta’s Usher in the festivities, who, as previously announced, will host the Wyclef Jean concert Friday at the Tabernacle - benefiting the R&B superstar’s New Look foundation - as well as the Rockin’ Skate Saturday with the Jonas Brothers and Taylor Kitsch.
Ne-Yo’s performance of his single “Because of You” isn’t the only announcement the NHL made Wednesday. Swedish rockers The Hives will do “Tick Tick Boom”. And the act will be joined by the Atlanta Boy Choir - yes, that’s even more hometown appreciation - singer/songwriter Kathleen Edwards and the Halftime Live marching band.
What do you think of the wide range of musical offerings happening here during the NHL All-Star weekend? When you think hockey, what recording artists comes to mind? And are you planning to attend any of the shows?

I hope the ghetto trash of Atlanta doesnt ruin the NHL’s All Star Weekend like they ruined the NBA’s All Star Weekend in 2003. That was a complete disgrace. I’m sure this crowd will be much more behaved and classy unlike the thugs, skanks, and crackheads that clogged the streets 5 years ago.

I didn’t realize the NHL had such a large r&b following. I don’t hear too much of it at the games. Seems more like a rock crowd to me.

Truthhurts, You have got to be the most ignorant person I have run across in a long time. It’s quite obvious you rode the short bus to junior high. Can’t include high school because it is quite clear you a$$ didn’t graduate.

I am almost positive the “thugs, skanks, and crackheads that clogged the streets 5 years ago” won’t show up for the NHL Allstar weekend. However, I am sure you will see plenty of meth-addicted and binge-drinking tramps, hillbillies and overall idiots. Have fun, Truthhurts!
