UPDATE 10/16/10: According to a sign hanging at the Ticket Booth in the Student Union, there are 2000 tickets left for tonight, that will be handed out on a first come, first serve basis.
October 16th, which is this Saturday night, Homecoming kicks off starting at 8 p.m. (doors opening at 7) with Concert Knight, featuring musical artists Ludacris, LMFAO, and Corey Smith. Tickets are free to UCF students with a valid ID and can be obtained at the ticket booth in the Student Union. The show will be held at the UCF Arena.
For those of you not familiar with these artists, each brings their own distinct flavor to UCF. Ludacris is a hop hop artist hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. ‘Luda’ is tied with Diddy for having the most Billboard Top 100 number one hits. Some of his more well known songs include “Stand Up,” “Money Maker,” and “My Chick Bad.” He is also known for his controversies, such as his fight with political analyst Bill O’Reilly.
LMFAO truly embodies their genre of ‘Party Rock’ with songs like “Shots,” ”I’m In Miami Trick” and “La La La.” They’re the son and nephew of Motown founder Berry Gordy and have been featured in some other songs like David Rush’s “Shooting Star.” LMFAO has also had their own controversy when Skyblu got into a fight with politican Mitt Romney on an airplane, and was seen being escorted off by police, but no arrest was made.
Corey Smith is a bluegrass/country singer from Georgia who has had three successful albums, including hits such as “Twenty One” and “The Good Life.” He also plays acoustic guitar along with his songs.
It should be a good night for music, with three very different artists- Ludacris representing a raw and tough hip hop style, LMFAO with their goofy party music, and Corey Smith with his laid back country and bluegrass style.
