DETROIT (WXYZ) — Grammy Award-winning reggae rapper and singer Shaggy will perform at the Detroit Auto Show’s Charity Preview on Sept. 15., organizers announced Friday.
Last week, it was announced that EGOT winner Jennifer Hudson will perform at the event. She’s set to perform on the main show floor from 7:45 p.m. to 8:45 p.m.
Shaggy is set to perform at 9:15 p.m. on the Atrium Stage.
“Shaggy will keep the Charity Preview party going with his most beloved hits including ‘It Wasn’t Me,’ ‘Angel’ and ‘Boombastic’ which have dominated the global reggae charts for decades,” Detroit Auto Show Chairman Thad Szott said. “It will be an incredibly electric night in Detroit, both with the vehicles on display and the energy going on inside Huntington Place that evening.”
Charity Preview, a black-tie event at Huntington Place, benefits six children’s charities across Southeast Michigan. The Detroit Auto Show showcases what’s new in the automotive industry including cars, technology, mobility and design.
