GloRilla will no longer perform during the first night of the AT&T Playoff Playlist Live next weekend. The Memphis rapper was supposed to headline the Jan. 18 State Farm Arena concert ahead of the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Jan. 20.

On Friday afternoon, State Farm Arena said the Grammy nominee had to pull out of her performance, citing scheduling conflicts. It was later announced that she’ll make her “Saturday Night Live” performance debut on the same day. Dave Chappelle is slated to host the episode.

Next Saturday’s concert, featuring Lil Wayne and Muni Long, will now include Atlanta native Gucci Mane as a headliner. Fellow Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz will be a special guest.

Camila Cabello, Myles Smith and Knox will headline the second night of the concert series on Jan. 19.

The performances are just a few events fans can enjoy ahead of the big game, which will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. An estimated 100,000 people from across the country are expected to indulge in festivities before kickoff.

Tickets for the concerts are still available and can be purchased via Ticketmaster.com.
