The Hawks announced that Grammy Award-winning artist Ludacris will perform during Game 2 of team’s first-round playoff series against the Nets at Philips Arena on Wednesday. The performance will be similar to those of T.I. and 2 Chainz from earlier this season. Ludacris will take part in player introductions and perform at halftime and following the game.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Ludacris would perform last week.
“As an Atlantan who has supported the Hawks for years, I jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with the organization in a memorable way,” Ludacris said in a statement released by the team. “This has been an incredible season for the city of Atlanta and the team, and I’m excited take the energy in Philips Arena up a notch for the playoffs.”
Ludacris, who has attended several Hawks games this season, will also be promoting his recently released album “Ludaversal.” The album and t-shirts will be available for purchase.
“There are very few entertainers who connect with a city the way Ludacris connects with Atlanta,” Hawks CEO Steve Koonin said in a statement. “He’s the perfect superstar performer to inspire our team and fan base as we remain ‘True to Atlanta’ throughout the postseason and beyond.”
Game 2 tips off at 7 p.m.
