Delaware State University’s annual homecoming concert takes a twist as it’s on a Wednesday rather than a Friday. This hasn’t deterred students at all as the excitement for Megan Thee Stallion has made students rather frantic to get tickets before they are sold out.

The line-up was announced Friday, September 9, in the Education and Humanities building during the university’s annual homecoming reveal. DaBaby, & Stunna 4Vegasare also scheduled to perform alongside Megan, due to SIMXSANTANA not being able to perform.

The concert will take place Wednesday, September 18, at 9:00 pm. in the Memorial Hall Gymnasium and doors open at 8:00 pm. Tickets can be bought for $45.00 with a valid Delaware State University student ID.

Tickets are available online at www.dsuhornetstickets.com or at the Memorial Hall ticket booth from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. General Admission tickets and student tickets will be available the week of September 15, 2019, for $60.00.

Megan Thee Stallion blew up over the summer in June 2019 when she dropped her single “Big Ole Freak,” gaining popularity by tweeting viral videos of her dancing and advertising her unique rap style. She also coined the term “Hot Girl Summer,” which has been a viral mantra over the internet. Since then she has been a viral sensation.

DaBaby is most known for his single “Suge,” which peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at number seven.

Stunna 4Vegas is a North Carolina rapper, known for his single “Animal,” featuring DaBaby.

Sophomore, Janelle Hockaday is excited about the upcoming event. “I’m super excited to see Megan perform, I’ve been supporting her since she dropped her Stalli Freestyle a year ago. It was cool watching her rise to fame and I think it’s gonna be super lit,” she stated. She’s anticipating this concert more than any of the other homecoming events.
