Jam 4 Peace at Bradley Center on Aug. 16
The 17th annual V100 Jam 4 Peace sponsored by WKKV-FM (100.7) will return to the Bradley Center on Aug. 16, with a lineup that features rapper Nelly and support acts Soulja Boy, The-Dream, Trey Songz, V.I.C. and Day 26.
The event again will focus on the problem of urban violence. Local officials will speak, and a giant screen will show a scrolling list of names of local people murdered since the beginning of the year.
Program director Bailey Coleman said in a statement: “While violence unfortunately is around us, this concert’s aim is to draw attention to that violence and at least for a small moment in time say enough is enough, let’s do something, let’s have peace!”
Tickets are $60, $40 and $20, excluding service charges. They are available at the box office, at http://www.v100.com and at Ticketmaster outlets, (414) 276-4545 and http://www.ticketmaster.com.
