Alaska, get ready to be part of something truly exclusive! This summer and fall, we have an electrifying lineup of iconic hip-hop artists just for you. The series kicks off with the legendary Ice Cube tonight, July 16, at the Alaska Airlines Center. And that's just the beginning! We have other established rappers such as Yelawolf, Ludacris, T.I., Flo Rida, and Soulja Boy ready to set the stage on fire at various venues across Southcentral Alaska.
Jon Dyson, General Manager of the Alaska Airlines Center, expressed optimism about the show's success and reported strong ticket sales, with over 3,500 tickets sold for the Ice Cube concert. He credited his efforts in reaching out to Ice Cube after seeing the rapper's Canadian tour dates and hopes that this positive experience will encourage other artists to visit Alaska. This concert series also coincides with the 10th anniversary of the Alaska Airlines Center's opening, and Dyson strategically assembled the lineup to celebrate this milestone.
Get ready to experience the thrill of live music! Hellen Payares, promoter for Showdown Entertainment, noted a general increase in live music demand across genres in Alaska. She stated that Alaskans want more concerts in general, and the aim is to offer a variety of genres. Additionally, reggae music has seen a surge in popularity, with Matt Tomter, owner of Matanuska Brewing Company, anticipating sell-out crowds for the upcoming T.I. and Flo Rida shows.
