| Three-time Grammy Award-winning rap superstar Nelly will headline the 40th Annual Late Night in the Phog presented by Hy-Vee and adidas on Friday, Oct. 18, in historic Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas Athletics announced today. 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. An entrepreneur, philanthropist, and actor, Nelly strives to be a trailblazer and to be the first to make his mark in every category such as being the first hip hop artist to blur the musical genres of Hip Hop and Country with the chart-topping hit Over and Over with Tim McGraw. He was also the first Hip Hop artist to accompany the most prestigious orchestras including St. Louis, Columbus and Pittsburgh, again blending musical styles and garnering great reviews. Late Night started in 1985 and features music by the KU pep band, routines from KU’s spirit squad and dance teams and video highlights from KU’s award-winning Rock Chalk Video department, coach and player introductions, scrimmages and much more. Information on the events surrounding Late Night, including Phogfest, will be announced at a later date. Information on how to claim tickets for the event will also be released later this summer. |
