Anoop Desai, former American Idol contestant and UNC Clef Hanger, will perform on campus as a second Homecoming act, organizers confirmed today.
He will play at 8 p.m. on Nov. 8 in Memorial Hall, a week after hip-hop artist Fabolous performs on Homecoming weekend.
The show is free for students, but tickets are required. The tickets will be given out Monday to students with valid OneCards. Tickets will be available to the public for $5 beginning Nov. 6.
Homecoming director Courtney Brown said she was satisfied with the decision to bring Desai.
“We expect it will sell out. He’s so popular, and there was a high attendance rate for his performance at the State Fair," she said.
