THE FLATS – Platinum recording artists Shaboozey, Chris Lane and Lauren Alaina will be the featured performers at the first three 2024 editions of Georgia Tech’s Helluva Block Party Driven by Hyundai. Shaboozey will perform prior to Tech’s home opener versus Georgia State on Aug. 31, Lane before the Yellow Jackets’ contest against VMI on Sept. 14 and Alaina ahead of the Jackets’ Atlantic Coast Conference showdown versus Duke on Oct. 5.
All three artists will take the stage on North Avenue right in front of Tech Tower Lawn immediately following Yellow Jacket Alley, Georgia Tech football team’s gameday arrival at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field, which is set for two-and-a-half hours prior to each home game (5:30 p.m. for the 8 p.m. kickoff versus Georgia State, 1 p.m. for the 3:30 p.m. game against VMI and TBA for the contest against Duke, with the announcement of kickoff time set for 12 days prior to gameday).
Pregame concerts are FREE for all fans in attendance as part of Helluva Block Party Driven by Hyundai, which transformed the Georgia Tech football pregame experience in 2023 by bringing the excitement and pageantry of Tech football to one of the most visible and vibrant areas of campus and the city of Atlanta – North Avenue. A three-block stretch of North Avenue – from Techwood Drive/Centennial Olympic Park Drive to Tech Parkway/Luckie Street – is temporarily closed to traffic on gamedays to accommodate the activities.
Tickets for all six of Georgia Tech football’s 2024 home games are on sale and can be purchased by clicking HERE.
Surrounded by some of Georgia Tech’s most iconic locations, including the south entrances to Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field and Tech Tower Lawn, tailgating at Helluva Block Party begins four hours before kickoff of every Georgia Tech home game.
