8:00 PM: Flo Rida at Paladium Amphitheatre

Flo Rida is an American rapper and hip hopper signed to Poe Boy Entertainment. He began his rap/hip hop career touring with 2 Live Crew and was then featured on DJ Khaled's album "We The Best" in 2006.

He released his debut album Mail on Sunday in 2008 and its lead single, Low featuring T-Pain, held a run of 10 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2009, he released his second album R.O.O.T.S, and its first single, Right Round featuring Ke$ha, was #1 for six weeks. Flo Rida's first single from his fourth album, Only One Rida (Part 2), is "Good Feeling." A reworking of Etta James' 1961 tune "Something's Got a Hold on Me," the song was released to iTunes on August 29th, 2011.

Combining his affinity for pop-rap choruses with his syrupy Southern swagger, Flo Rida quickly became a one-person hit factory. On tracks like 2009's "Right Round", which flips the Dead or Alive classic into a raunchy cut, and 2015's ridiculously catchy tune "My House," Flo Rida displays an otherworldly skill for hook-writing and some serious singing chops.

7:00 PM: Blanco Brown at Paladium Amphitheatre

Blurring the lines between Country and Hip-Hop music, Blanco Brown makes a southern sound that he proudly calls “TrailerTrap.” Honing in on his unique sound, Blanco balances both the urban and rural settings in which he grew up.

His viral hit “The Git Up” (certified 11x Platinum across three countries) took the world by storm, claiming the top spot in charts across the globe and spawning nearly four billion views across social platforms. IT claimed the No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for 12 weeks and was the top-selling digital Country song in the US for 13 weeks, resulting in Billboard naming him as their No. 1 Top New Country Artist for 2019.

Apart from being a Grammy-nominated engineer, the multi-talent’s multi-national Platinum-certified collaboration “Just the Way” with Parmalee garnered more than 500 million on-demand streams, earning Brown his first No. 1 hit on Country radio (in the US and Canada).

More recently, he doubled down on his genre-bending collaborations teaming up with Nelly on the funky, country-inspired track “High Horse,” T.I. for “Trap Still Bumpin’,” LOCASH and the late Leslie Jordan for the funky “Let It Slide,” while pairing with Diplo for “Do Si Do” and Lee Brice and R3HAB for the remix of Brice’s hit song, “Soul.”

Recovering from a life-threatening accident and leaning on music to heal, Blanco released “Nobody’s More Country” in 2021. Showcasing his world-class vocal talent and captivating stage presence through 2022, Blanco’s latest emotionally charged new track “I’ll Never,” available now, is unlike anything the No. 1 hitmaker has ever released.
