Wichita State Athletics has announced Tech N9ne will headline this year's Shocker Madness event set for Saturday, Oct. 7, at 6:00 p.m., inside Charles Koch Arena.
Tech N9ne is the co-founder of Strange Music Inc., the number-one independent hip-hop label in the world. His signature rapid-fire "chopper" style has solidified him as one of the leading pioneers of the underground hip-hop industry. In less than two decades, Tech himself has earned three gold records, sold over two million albums, and made multiple appearances on Forbes's "Hip-Hop Cash Kings" list.
In addition to an incredible performance from Tech N9ne, Wichita State Men's & Women's Basketball teams will take the floor in a scrimmage format giving fans a first-look at the teams' new styles of play under new head coaches Paul Mills and Terry Nooner.
This year's Shocker Madness event serves as the culmination of Wichita State's Shocktoberfest homecoming week.
Doors open at 5 pm for the free event and parking is free on a first-come, first-serve basis.
No tickets are required. General admission seating will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis as arena occupancy allows. Select seating sections within the arena will be reserved for Wichita State University students (sections 117 & 118), Shocker student-athletes and university personnel.
The clear-bag policy and new opengate, walk-through metal detectors will be enforced for those entering Charles Koch Arena.
