THE FLATS – Platinum-selling country music duo LOCASH and hip-hop legend Flo Rida are the featured artists for the first two 2025 editions of Helluva Block Party, Driven by Hyundai. LOCASH will perform prior to Georgia Tech’s home opener versus Gardner-Webb on Saturday, Sept. 6, and Flo Rida will take the stage ahead of the Yellow Jackets’ highly anticipated ACC showdown with Clemson on Saturday, Sept. 13.
Both major acts will perform as part of Helluva Block Party. Entering its third year, Helluva Block Party has transformed the Georgia Tech football pregame experience 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.
The pregame concerts are FREE for all fans in attendance and will be held on North Avenue, right in front of Tech Tower Lawn, just west of Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field. The concerts begin immediately following Yellow Jacket Alley, Georgia Tech football team’s gameday arrival on The Flats. Yellow Jacket Alley will be held two-and-a-half hours before each game – 1 p.m. for Tech’s 3:30 p.m. game against Gardner-Webb on Sept. 6 and 9:30 a.m. for the Jackets’ noon battle with Clemson on Sept. 13.

ABOUT LOCASH
A platinum-selling duo who play by their own rulebook, LOCASH make feel-good country music with a small-town spirit and big-time impact. Betting on themselves, the newest album from singer/songwriters Preston Brust and Chris Lucas, Bet The Farm, features fan favorites like multi-week No. 1 smash “Hometown Home,” “Isn’t She Country,” “Buzzin” and current country radio single “Wrong Hearts.” These add to a hit-stacked catalog that already includes their 2015 platinum breakout “I Love This Life,” Gold No. 1s “One Big Country Song” and “I Know Somebody,” nine chart-climbing singles and over one billion global streams. Last year, the multi-hyphenates launched their own record label, Galaxy Label Group, distributed by BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. The one-of-a-kind record label allows Brust and Lucas to maintain complete creative control over their music while mentoring a whole new generation of like-minded stars. LOCASH’s bold and soulful brand of country has garnered nominations from the genre’s biggest award shows and earned raves from the likes of American Songwriter (who praised the duo for “hitting homers and serving up first-class songs”). After a jam-packed 2024 — whose highlights included teaming up with Monster Jam to create their own limited-edition die-cast truck and playing stadiums all over the country as support for Kane Brown’s In The Air Tour — LOCASH are going nonstop this year with in-demand headline shows and major festival stops. They’ve also made high-profile national TV appearances on Live with Kelly and Mark, ABC’s Good Morning America, ABC News Live, CBS Mornings Plus, Fox & Friends and more.
ABOUT FLO RIDA
An exuberant rapper/singer with a larger-than-life personality and ability to appeal to listeners across several genres, Flo Rida is ultimately a pop star known for feel-good dance anthems. He established himself as the party king of the late 2000s with global smash hits like “Low” (his first Grammy-nominated recording, featuring T-Pain) and “Right Round” (featuring Kesha), singles from the respective top-10 U.S. albums Mail on Sunday (2008) and R.O.O.T.S. (2009). The Floridian continued his international success into the next decade with Only One Flo (Part 1) (2010) and Wild Ones (2012) yielding five additional platinum hits like the collaboration “Club Can’t Handle Me,” the -assisted “Wild Ones” and “Whistle.” Since releasing My House (2015), an EP containing the smashes “G.D.F.R.” and “My House,” Flo Rida has been behind a plethora of singles, most notably the gold-certified “Cake” (2016), “Feels Right” (2024) and “Confessions” (2025). The latter two saw Flo continue to court new audiences by collaborating respectively with Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley and Enhypen’s Heeseung and Jake. A multi-platinum artist, he has sold over 80 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling musical artists of all-time.
