Student tickets are estimated to be around $30 to $40, and general admission will be around $40 to $50.
The performance is sponsored by the Indiana Memorial Union Board, who has been planning the performance since ?February.
“He’s really wanted to perform at Indiana University,” Brett Bassock, Union Board director of Live Entertainment, said. “Indiana University is a destination many performers would want to perform at.”
Halloween weekend worked the best for Chance, Bassock said, and the timing is perfect.
“I would love it if people showed up in costumes,” he said. “I think that’d be really fun.”
Chance will perform with other special guests, according to a Union Board press release.
This will be the first ever performance for Chance at IU.
“Chance is one of the most up and coming, respected rappers out there,” Bassock said.
Chance, who’s real name is Chancelor Bennett, is originally from Chicago.
Chance started his career in high school when he founded his own hip-hop duo.
His career took off after the release of his album, “Acid Rap,” which has been downloaded over 800,000 times, according to a Union Board press release.
“Chance the Rapper, he’s,” he said, pausing to find the right word. “He’s the real deal.”
