MONROE, La. — The famous Australian rapper, Amethyst Amelia Kelly, better known by
her stage name, Iggy Azalea, will perform at the University of Louisiana Monroe's
Fant-Ewing Coliseum on Thursday, October 13 at 8 p.m.
Iggy’s performance was secured by ULM’s Campus Activities Board, which organized the
concert as a part of ULM's Homecoming week.
In 2006, as a 16 year-old, Iggy left Australia and flew to the United States to pursue
her dream.
Her professional career started in 2011 with the release of her first full-length
mix-tape project titled “Ignorant Art.” In 2014, she released her debut album, “The
New Classic,” which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week
sales topping 52,000 across the United States.
Iggy has collaborated with many well-known artists throughout her career. The most
notable ones include Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, Britney Spears and
Demi Lovato.
She was the first woman and the first non-American rapper to be featured in XXL Magazine’s
“Top 10 Freshman List” in 2012.
Iggy’s most notable songs include “Fancy,” “Black Widow,” “Work” and “Team.”
Early bird ticket prices are as follows:
Tickets for ULM students cost $20 for general admission, and $25 for floor seats.
Tickets for the general public cost $30 for general admission, and $35 for floor seats.
Ticket prices will increase by $5 on September 29, and remain the same until the beginning
