LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 13, 2014) — The world famous Harlem Globetrotters will welcome another highly-acclaimed performance group to the floor when the Globetrotters’ 2014 “Fans Rule” World Tour comes to Rupp Arena in Lexington on Sunday, Jan. 19 at 3 p.m.

The acoUstiKats, who recently competed on the popular TV show, “The Sing-Off,” have been invited by the Globetrotters to perform approximately 30 minutes prior to tip-off, before the opening tip and during halftime (performance schedule subject to change).

Billed as “Southern charm with a whole lot of swag,” the acoUstiKats are an all-male a cappella group functioning as a subsection of the nationally-renowned and award-winning University of Kentucky Men’s Chorus.

Fans will also once again have a hand in the outcome of the game, as fans can choose which new game-changing rules they want to see in the game via online voting at harlemglobetrotters.com/rule. The Globetrotters’ show features mesmerizing ball handling, an amazing assortment of trick shots and high-flying dunks – all with an array of comedy guaranteed to entertain the whole family.  After virtually every game, Globetrotter stars remain on the court for autographs and photographs with fans.

Tickets for the Jan. 19 performance start at $24 and are available at harlemglobetrotters.com, ticketmaster.com, the Rupp Arena box office or by phone at 1-800-745-3000.
