WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The home court of the Wichita State University (WSU) Shockers at Charles Koch Arena will be transformed into a stage when Wale comes to perform next month.
His concert is scheduled for Friday, April 15 at 8 p.m. Doors will open at 7 p.m.
Wale is a Grammy-nominated rap star, actor and advocate. In a press release, WSU describes, “An old-school lyricist with new-school energy, otherworldly hooks and a sense of irony tailor-made for its own Seinfeld episode, he instantly set himself apart.” He also made history as the first rapper to open the State of the Union for President Obama’s final State of the Union Address.
According to a Facebook post made by WSU’s Students Activity Council, DJ Kittie will be Wale’s opening act.
Advanced tickets will cost $10 for WSU students, $18 for faculty and staff and $25 for the general public. All day-of tickets will cost $25.
All tickets are general admission and can be purchased at the Koch Arena Box Office or online. For ADA seating, you can call 316-978-3267 before the event.
