We're excited to announce three-time Grammy Award-winning rapper and actor @Ludacris as our Chapel Thrill Concert Series headliner on October 4th before @UNCFootball takes on Clemson!#GoHeels x @TheRamsClub pic.twitter.com/kFsa66UTSL
An artist known around the world, Ludacris becomes the first non-country artist to take the stage.
Chase Rice graced the stage ahead of the 2025 season opener against TCU, and John Stone followed by performing this past weekend before the Tar Heels non-conference tilt with FCS opponent Richmond.
Now, ahead of arguably the biggest game on the UNC football program's schedule, Chapel Thrill is bringing the heat!
Chapel Hill should be bumping ahead of this highly-anticipated matchup, especially if both teams come in with winning records. Even if that isn't the case, Clemson, led by Dabo Swinney, has been the "top dog" in the ACC, a title the UNC football program aspires to hold in the near future.
If you're going to be in town for the UNC football program's first ACC contest of the year, be sure to check out Ludacris' performance as part of the Chapel Thrill Concert Series.
