Pop star Flo Ridawill be headlining a concert in St. John's on Dec. 8th, music promoter David Carver said Thursday.

Well known for his hit song My House, the rapperwill play at Mile One Centre in St. John's.

"This guy just puts on a high energy, great great show," Carver said on Thursday evening. "You're pretty tired and beat upwhen you leave a Flo Rida show and that's in a good way."

Flo Rida will be joinedby opening actFrancesco Yates on stage. The twoartists werescheduled to play in the AtlanticFestconcert withSelenaGomez before it was cancelled in August.

Promoter David Carver says the rapper approached him looking for an opportunity to play in Newfoundland and Labrador after AtlanticFest was called off.

"He's just a class act all around.I mean, he didn't have to come back and do these dates after AtlanticFest cancelled and he was the one who was pushing for it," Carver said.

"He said 'look, you know, I've made the commitment and I want to get there.'"

Tickets for the concert go on sale on Saturday, Oct. 29.
