125 YEARS OF SERVING UNC STUDENTS AND THE UNIVERSITY MONDAY, APRIL 9, 2018 VOLUME 126, ISSUE 9 performs for damp crowd Fans flocked to Waka Flocka for the spring Jubilee concert By Allie Todd Staff Writer

The cold rain did not stop the 2018 Jubilee concert-goers from seeing Waka Flocka Flame with openers DJ Luke Nasty and Hollywood COLD on Saturday night. Hooker Fields was opened at 5:30 p.m. and only a handful of people walked in, probably because the temperature was nearing 39 degrees and the rain was threat - ening to turn to sleet. Hollywood COLD was set to start the concert at 5:45, but a combination of tech- nical issues and the rain delayed the start. This was the fourth Jubilee con- cert since the tradition returned in 2015 after having been gone from UNC since 1971, when Johnny Cash and the Temptations performed together. Rae Sremmurd performed in 2015, followed by Chase Rice in DTH/ ARAMIDE GBADAMOSI 2016 and 2 Chainz in 2017.
