Two former NFL players and South Dakota natives are going to be hosting the biggest college party of the year.

Chad Greenway and Ben Leber will be sharing hosting duties for Jacks Bash 2 this Wednesday, September 8. Zac Brown Band, Fall Out Boy, and Gabby Barrett will perform at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium on the campus of South Dakota State University.

Jacks Bash 2 marks five years since Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium opened, and is the second such celebration. In 2016 Luke Bryan performed to open up the building.
