T.I. is crisscrossing the country for much of May and June and the Atlanta rapper has added a hometown show to his itinerary.

A few days after headlining the V-103 "Pop Up Live" concert at Philips Arena , T.I. unveiled an 8 p.m. June 18 show at the new Coca-Cola Roxy Theatre at The Battery Atlanta.

Tickets, at $45.50, are on sale at 10 a.m. March 31 via www.ticketmaster.com and www.livenation.com.

The 3,900-capacity venue will open April 8 with a sold-out show from Glass Animals. Other upcoming acts are Corey Smith (April 22), Lil Wayne (May 8) and Bush (May 10). The venue is expected to host about 40 concerts through the end of its inaugural year.
