Jimmy Eat World to perform

UPB announced Tuesday that Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday will be performing April 21 at the Convocation Center.

"UPB wants to make this the best concert ever," said sophomore Jeremy Paredes, director of media and public relations for UPB. "We are very excited to promote for this concert."

UPB hosted its first ticket giveaway for this concert on the commons Tuesday. The tickets were won by freshman Michael Hughes after a game of duck-duck-goose and tag. Hughes won over the 20 other students competing for the tickets.

Sophomore Ashley Hunter and freshman Anna Louise Gionfriddo, UPB street team members, were handing out fliers on the commons for the show.

Hunter was very excited for the concert, and said that there would be a lot of ticket giveaways.

"This concert is going to be amazing," Hunter said. "People are going to come from out of town and other colleges for this."

Gionfriddo said, "We’ve had some great concerts in the past, but this is going to be great. It will definitely be the event of the year."

Tickets will be sold starting at 8 a.m. March 1 at the Warren Hall Box Office, Plan 9 Music in Harrisonburg and online at http://jmuUPB.musictoday.com/.

Tickets are $20 with a JAC card (limit two) and $25 for floor seats and general admission. Floor seats are only available for students. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.
