A Diamond-selling, multi-Platinum, Grammy Award-winning rap superstar, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and actor, Nelly has continually raised the bar for the entertainment industry since stepping on the scene in 2000 with his distinctive vocals and larger-than-life personality. His collaboration with Florida Georgia Line received Diamond status, and he is only one of seven rappers to reach this honor.
He is touring around the globe and recently was the first artist to play in Saudi Arabia with a mixed gender/family crowd. He is the first hip-hop artist to play with multiple symphonies nationwide, and played himself in BET’s Real Husbands of Hollywood with Kevin Hart. His sports knowledge and love of all sports secured him a gig as a sportscaster with Skip Bayless.
The Carrington Pavilion is located at 629 Craghead St. in Danville's River District.
