ATLANTA — There will be a special guest headlining this year's rivalry between Georgia universities, featuring some "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate."
Atlanta's own Ludacris -- one of the world’s most recognizable hip-hop artists and entertainers -- will be the performer at the Nov. 25 "Helluva Block Party Driven by Hyundai" ahead of the Georgia-Georgia Tech match-up.
The "Get Back" rapper will take the stage on North Avenue in front of Tech Tower Lawn about 2-and-a-half hours before kickoff and right after Tech makes their entrance to Bobby Dodd Stadium through "Yellow Jacket Alley."
Kickoff time for the game -- Tech's final regular season home game -- is expected to be announced Monday, Nov. 13.
Tickets for the concert are free for all fans already attending the football game. Tickets, meanwhile, for the 117th edition of "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate" between the Yellow Jackets and Bulldogs are still on sale and can be purchased here.
