Austin, Texas – Texas Athletics is proud to announce Ludacris as the Longhorn City Limits postgame concert headliner following Texas Football's Orange-White Game presented by Living Spaces on Saturday, April 13 as part of 'Made in Austin Weekend'.
Ludacris' breakthrough sophomore album, "Back for the First Time," peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard albums chart, included the hit singles "What's Your Fantasy?" and "Southern Hospitality." His eight studio albums have produced countless hits like "Get Back," "Rollout," "How Low" and "Stand Up."
The international hip-hop icon has received many accolades over his two-decade career including three Grammys Awards, nine BET Awards, and one CMT Award. He has also had successful collaborations with Usher, Carrie Underwood, DJ Khaled, John Legend and Pharell. Ludacris is also known for his film career, highlighted by his role as Tej Parker in the 'Fast and the Furious' series.
Joining Ludacris on the Longhorn City Limits postgame lineup is Austin urban hip-hop artist Noah North. North, whose 2016 single "Goat" went viral with over 12 million views, opens the show.
"I'm really excited about all of the activities that Chris Del Conte, Drew Martin and our athletics department staff have planned around our spring game," said Texas Football Head Coach Tom Herman. "It is going to be a fun day in Austin and what a thrill it will be to see a legendary, award-winning singer like Ludacris performing live. I've always been a huge fan and love his music, but more importantly, know players, students, recruits, fans and so many others will enjoy the show because he and his music transcend so many generations. We're thrilled that he's coming to Austin and making our day an extra special one."
