Atlanta hip-hop star Rich Homie Quan will perform as part of Hawks’ opening-night festivities, the team announced Tuesday.
The Hawks open the 2015-16 season on Oct. 27 at Philips Arena against the Pistons.
“The Hawks have made Oct. 27 a can’t-miss event and I’m super excited to be the headline performer,” Rich Homie Quan said in a statement. “I think it’s great how the Hawks combine music and sports to give Atlanta fans a unique entertainment experience, and I can’t wait to hit the floor on Opening Night when we take on the Pistons.”
Last season, Tip ‘T.I’ Harris and Young Thug performed on opening night. The Hawks also had Tauheed ‘2 Chainz’ Epps perform at a game in March and Ludacris perform during the playoffs.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. with the game scheduled to begin two hours later. Rich Homie Quan will perform before and after the game and at halftime. He will be joined by a surprise guest.
