ATLANTA — Hawks fans will get a look at R&B star Ne-Yo this month when he performs at halftime at State Farm Arena.
The team announced on Friday the Grammy-winning artist will play a halftime show on Feb. 26 when the Hawks host the Brooklyn Nets. That game is a Sunday afternoon affair starting at 3 p.m.
“I appreciate the Atlanta Hawks for their commitment to blending music, sports and entertainment together,” Ne-Yo said in a release. “It’s going to be a fun night and I’m looking forward to seeing my fans.”
Ne-Yo is best known for hits including "Miss Independent" and "So Sick."
The game will come against a top Eastern Conference opponent at a time the Hawks are looking to make a run up the standings as the playoffs draw closer. At 26-26, they're currently at eighth in the conference with seven wins in their last 11 contests.
