Today, the Sacramento Kings announced six-time Grammy nominated artist B.o.B. will perform a postgame concert on Opening Night, Wednesday, October 17. Just outside of Golden 1 Center’s iconic grand entrance, fans will have an opportunity to celebrate the kick-off of the 2018-19 NBA season as B.o.B performs his music – including hits “Airplanes,” “So Good” and “Headband.” The outdoor party will feature beverages and beer available for purchase in the plaza.
“As we welcome back the best fans in the NBA for the upcoming season, we are excited to continue to showcase the incredible energy and passion that makes us Sacramento Proud in the heart of Sacramento’s emerging entertainment and lifestyle district,” said John Rinehart, Kings President of Business Operations. “Hosting six-time Grammy nominee B.o.B. for a full postgame concert in the DOCO Plaza is a fun and entertaining way to kick-off the season in style and we look forward to featuring even more entertainment and activities throughout the upcoming season.”
Joining in the festivities of Opening Night, 80’s hip-hop icon Rob Base will perform his hit songs – including “It Takes Two” and “I Wanna Rock” – during a special halftime show.
“Hey Kings fans, I’m looking forward to taking it back to the old school at halftime of the Home Opener. And I can’t wait to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of ‘It Takes Two’ with you!” – Rob Base.
Opening Night will be the highly anticipated regular-season debut of Kings Rookies Marvin Bagley III and Harry Giles III. The Kings will tip-off at 7 p.m. against the Utah Jazz, with all fans in attendance receiving a commemorative t-shirt, courtesy of Kaiser Permanente.
