The Pittsburgh Steelers may have lost the Super Bowl, but their unofficial anthem, the catchy "Black and Yellow," is still riding high. And the artist behind it, Wiz Khalifa, has just announced a concert at the Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center.

The concert, an all-ages show, is set for April 4 at the Convocation Center. Doors open at 6:30. Tickets, priced at $15 and $30, go on sale Monday, February 14 at 10 a.m. via emutix.com.

Pittsburgh's Khalifa came onto the national scene in 2006, with his video "Pittsburgh Sound" gaining attention the following year. After signing with Warner Bros. he released the singles "Say Yeah" and "Make it Hot."

"Black and Yellow," which references the Steelers' team colors, is currently the No. 4 song on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. It's featured on Khalifa's upcoming Atlantic Records album, "Rolling Papers," set for release March 29.

For more information call the EMU Ticket Office, Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at 734-487-2282.
