ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The Atlanta Hawks on Thursday announced that Atlanta rap icon Quavo will be performing at halftime of the team’s season opener against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday at State Farm Arena.
Every fan in attendance will receive a special “WE Different” black shirt.
“Hawks games are always a vibe, and I’m looking forward to bringing something special to halftime for my hometown team,” Quavo said in a press release. “Atlanta is home, and it means a lot to perform for Hawks fans as we celebrate a new season and everything we love about this city.”
Quavo has established a successful career thus far as the frontman of the now-defunct Migos, and has since collaborated with artists such as Post Malone, Travis Scott, Lana Del Rey and Luke Bryan. An Atlanta native, Quavo has solidified his place as one of the most influential figures in modern hip-hop.
Last week, Hawks guard Trae Young collaborated with 2 Chainz and Quavo to drop the new Atlanta anthem, “Where I Stay.”
2 Chainz, rapper, actor and College Park Skyhawks owner, will walk the team out to the court in a special player introduction. To tip off the night, Elijah Connor, a contemporary R&B artist with singles such as “Appetite” and “Say the Word,” will sing the national anthem.
Last season, Hawks fans got to see performances from Goodie Mob, Gucci Mane, Jagged Edge, Keith Sweat, Lakeyah, Mariah the Scientist, Shamea Morton and more.
“Our partnership with the Atlanta Hawks goes beyond the court — it’s about showing up for the community we both call home,” said Allyson Watts, senior vice president at State Farm. “We’re honored to support another epic Opening Night and to celebrate alongside Hawks fans on Wednesday.”
Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. Fans can grab tickets [here](https://www.nba.com/hawks/tickets).
