Before performing at GQ magazine’s 2013 Super Bowl party on February 2nd, Lil Wayne will also be performing live at Electronic Arts‘ “Madden Bowl XIX” party at the Bud Light Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 31st.

Other music artists who will also be performing at the EA Sports event is Big Boi and Vintage Trouble, as well as Mick Boogie playing DJ for the night.

“Madden Bowl is a cool bookend to the Madden NFL 13 season,” said Anthony Stevenson, senior director of marketing for EA Sports. “What’s unique about Madden is that athletes want to be entertainers, and entertainers want to be athletes. Lil Wayne raps about Madden all the time, and he’s done stuff with the soundtrack. Madden Bowl allows these two groups get together and share a common interest of Madden and gaming. Last year, Drew Brees was on the railing going crazy for Snoop Dogg at Madden Bowl XVIII.”
