Rae Sremmurd took the stage at FlashFest two years ago and is back for another round at Kent State.

“Rae Sremmurd put on a great performance last time and has since continued to put out great hits, so we decided to ask them back for another awesome performance,” said Cliff Glowacki, director of programming for Undergraduate Student Government.

Rae Sremmurd is known for several popular songs including “Throw Sum Mo” and “Swang.” Most recently, their hit song “Black Beatles” posed as the theme song for the Mannequin Challenge viral video craze. Adams is best known for his hit “All Night Longer” and “Helluva” featuring Kat Nestel.

This year, in addition to music, there will be games and interactive activities on the Student Green.

“I’m really excited for FlashFest this year,” Glowacki said. “It’s going to be a great show, and it’s a great deal to see Rae Sremmurd and Sammy Adams in one show. We also have games and attractions that I think the students will enjoy.”
