The legendary Isley Brothers will headline an HBCU Fall Fest planned for Mobile in conjunction with the Gulf Coast Challenge football game this November.
The Gulf Coast Challenge will bring the Alabama A&M Bulldogs and the Jackson State Tigers onto the field at Ladd-Peebles Stadium for a game with a 4 p.m. kick-off on Saturday, Nov. 12. The Nov. 11 Fall Fest concert featuring The Isley Brothers and Tank, which is presented by the GCC, the Mobile Sports Authority, Mobile County and the city of Mobile, tops a week of events preceding the game.
“Our Annual Gulf Coast Challenge creates a fun and exciting opportunity for visitors to the City of Mobile, key business leaders, diverse communities, and HBCU fans as they come together and experience different aspects of the Gulf Coast that may be a deviation from their norm,” said GCC Executive Director Timothy Hale in a release announcing the show.
