Daily Staff

In an announcement by the Student Union Board on Thursday, rappers Lupe Fiasco and Tinie Tempah will perform at Hilton Coliseum on Oct. 5.

Tickets for the event will go on sale Monday at 10 a.m.

ISU students will receive a discount code, which will be mailed to their ISU email addresses with prices at $26 for lower-level seating, $21 for upper-level seating and public tickets will be available for $36 to $41, according to a news release.

All seats are general admission seats.

The event hosted by the Student Union Board is being made possible from money allocated to SUB from GSB that was a part of a $200,000 national events fund created a few months ago.

“We looked at artists in our price range,” said Andrew Lopez, senior in communication studies and the director of performing arts for SUB. “After deliberation from the entire organization, Lupe was the top choice.”

Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster and by phone at 800-745-3000.
