University Union (UU) has announced N.E.R.D. as the special guest joining K-OS, Francis and the Lights and headliner Drake for the annual Syracuse University Block Party concert on Friday, April 30, at 7 p.m. (doors at 6 p.m.) in the Carrier Dome.

N.E.R.D. is a rock and hip hop band consisting of Shay Haley, Chad Hugo and music mogul Pharrell Williams. The group has released three full-length albums since it was formed in 2001. Its third album, “Seeing Sounds,” was released in June 2008 and peaked at #7 on the Billboard 200 chart and #4 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Album chart. “Seeing Sounds” features hit singles “Everyone Nose (All the Girls Standing in the Line for the Bathroom)” and “Spaz.”

N.E.R.D. is known for exceptionally energetic and intense live performances. The group’s fourth album, “Instant Gratification,” is set to be released later this year.

Tickets for Syracuse University and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry students will be available during an exclusive student online presale beginning Tuesday, March 9, at 10 a.m. and will run until 4:30 p.m. on Friday, March 12. Presale tickets will be available online only at http://suathletics.com on the main ticket page under Concerts & Events.
