Soulja Boy coming to Bowling Green

Recording artists Soulja Boy, Ray J and Yo Gotti are headed to Bowling Green.

The R&B trio will perform at the Winter Jam Concert, presented by Horseman Entertainment and hosted by Startin5ive.com, on Feb. 25 at Diddle Arena.

Winter Jam kicks off at 7 p.m., and doors open at 6 p.m.

Soulja Boy will headline the concert because he will be able “to attract people outside the city limits of Bowling Green,” said Bowling Green senior Chase Carpenter, who works for Startin5ive.com.

The show will cost $20 for students, and general admission is $25. Floor seating is available for $35. Ticket information can be found at www.wkusports.com.

The Winter Jam Concert is going to be “one of the biggest shows to come to Bowling Green,” said Desmond Bell, who works for Horseman Entertainment.

Carpenter said he and Bell have known each other for a long time, and it was Bell’s contacts at Horseman Entertainment that made the Winter Jam happen.

“He saw how me and the rest of my friends of Startin5ive were hosting a lot of successful events on WKU’s campus … which in the long run led both of us to collaborate, especially since he as well has a long history of hosting events,” Carpenter said.

Both Bell and Carpenter are anticipating that the concert will be popular with people of all ages.

“I believe with the right networking and word of mouth everything will fall into place,” Carpenter said. “Startin5ive and Horseman Entertainment will work together to make this a successful event, and hopefully the community will support us.”
