Big E perfomance lineup continues with Flo Rida
Flo Rida will perform at The Big E Arena on Sept. 25. Flo Rida first dominated the airwaves with his 2007 breakout single, “Low” featuring T-Pain, off his debut studio album “Mail on Sunday”. The mega hit was Number 1 on the Billboard charts for 10 weeks and broke the record for digital download sales at the time of its release. His catalogue of international hit singles and Billboard chart-toppers also boasts the massive club hit “Round,” which introduced the world to Kesha, “Whistle,” “Good Feeling,” “Wild Ones” featuring Sia, “My House,” and many more.
The opening act will be the Ying Yang Twins, who rose to prominence after forming in 2000 and releasing a slew of party anthems and club hits including “Salt Shaker,” “Wait (The Whisper Song),” “Badd” and more. The duo was featured on Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz hit single “Get Low,” which reached Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
