Now that Towson University’s lineup for Tigerfest, the school’s annual musical festival, has been finalized, I figured it’d be a great opportunity to find out what the students thought of the scheduled acts.
But first, let me lay out the details for the event.
The concert will take place on Saturday, April 24 at 1 p.m. at Burdick Field and will feature the hip-hop band N.E.R.D. The other acts include Battle of the Bands winner Breaking Reign, Neon Indian, J-Roddy Walston and The Business and These United States.
N.E.R.D is arguably the biggest name on the list, which left some Towson students feeling a bit shafted.
Aron Prybel (junior): N.E.R.D’s still around? I thought they broke up years ago.
J.P. Pace (senior): I’m really not looking forward to the concert. It’s disappointing they were the best we could get. At least we had Lupe (Fiasco) for homecoming and All-American Rejects last year.
Other students had more positive sentiments about the upcoming performances.
Dana Smith (junior): I’ve always loved Pharrell so I can’t wait to see him. And I saw (Breaking Reign) when they played at the Battle of the Bands and they sounded really good for a local band.
Ryan Williams (senior): I know they’re not that popular but These United States are pretty badass live so that’ll be cool.
Regardless of your opinions of the bands scheduled to play, Tigerfest is sure to be a fun overall event, especially for all the inebriated attendees.
Tickets are $10 for TU students and $25 for non-students. If you plan on going make sure to get your tickets early as the prices go up to $15 for students and $35 for non-students on the day of the concert.
