Performances from a pair of hip-hop stars and a big-name DJ have been added as part of Pittsburgh’s weekend hosting the NFL Draft.
The concerts will take place at The Plaza at North Shore, a new entertainment space at the corner of Mazeroski Way and General Robinson Boulevard on Pittsburgh’s North Shore.
Hip-hop luminary Nelly, known for “Hot in Herre,” “Ride Wit Me” and more, will open the draft week at the venue’s opening night party on April 22.
EDM star Steve Aoki, a high-energy DJ, will perform a mid-day tailgate set on April 23.
Grammy winner 2Chainz, perhaps best known for “Birthday Song” with Kanye West, will close out the draft weekend on April 25.
Tickets for the three shows, which are for those 18 and older, are available online here for the 30,000-square foot plaza.
The NFL Draft will take place on Pittsburgh’s North Shore from April 23-25.
