Three-time Grammy Award winner Ludacris, and comedic actor Mike Epps will be coming to the Auburn Arena, Friday, Oct. 4 for the inaugural Jungle Jam Madness.
Epps will be hosting the event, and Ludacris will be performing.
Along with Epps and Ludacris, fans will also be introduced to 2013-14 basketball team.
The event will be punctuated with a slam-dunk contest, 3-point shooting contest and a scrimmage.
The Auburn cheerleaders, dancers, pep band and Aubie will also be there.
"More than anything, the Jungle Jam is about getting the students excited and fired up about basketball," Auburn Basketball coach Tony Barbee said. "At the end of the day, you need students to attend your games because they are the best and most loyal fans. We purposely moved this event to the night before the Auburn vs. Ole Miss football game at Jordan-Hare Stadium to make sure as many students would be on campus as possible."
A limited number of floor level seats will be available for Auburn University students. Having an official Jungle Jam wristband is the only way to get a floor level seat for the Jungle Jam.
Students may pick up their wristbands beginning Wed., Sept. 25 at 10 a.m., while the supply last, at the North Arena Box Office located next to the Auburn Team Shop at Auburn Arena. Students will need to show their Auburn Ignited Card to pick up their wristbands. Each student may pick up two wristbands per Ignited card. Floor level access will only be available using the Student Entrance at Auburn Arena.
Admission to the Jungle Jam will be free to everyone.
