Academy Award winning rapper Juicy J is coming to Muncie.
The concert will be at The Horizon Convention Center on Oct. 4 from 6 to 11 p.m. The Horizon Center is located at 401 S. High St. in Muncie.
James Pollen, public relations for i465 Media Group LLC, said the event is a kick off concert during Ball State's Homecoming week.
"Juicy J is on a promotional tour to promote his new single and album and wanted to see if Ball State students really ‘Ball So Hard’," Pollen said.
Juicy J won an Academy Award in 2006 for the song "It's Hard out Here for a Pimp" with his rap group Three 6 Mafia.
Juicy J is on tour promoting his fourth solo album “Pure THC: The Hustle Continues”. The first single from the album is “Low” which features rapper Nicki Minaj, Lil Bibby, and Young Thug.
Individual tickets are still available for $40 and VIP tickets, which grant early admittance to the concert, are available for $100. Both types will be available until Oct. 3.
Group tickets with a minimum of four are also available for $35 dollars until Sept. 22.
Michelle R. Johnson, the director of Homecoming and Athletic Programs, said the Ball State Homecoming Steering Committee doesn't have any involvement with the concert.
The concert falls on the same night as Homecoming Village, an annual event in the village with food and other activities for students.
Free rides from and to campus will be provided to the concert with the purchase of a pre-sale ticket. Pollen said the bus will run a similar route to the Ball State shuttle, every 15 minutes.
There will be a Juicy J “Hypest Fan” contest presented by Trill Crowd LLC at the concert. Juicy J will give away $500 and other prizes, including an iPad mini to the “Most Turned Up” person in the crowd. People must wear a shirt from Trill Crowd LLC in order to win the contest.
