Piano-rock band The Fray will headline this year's spring concert, according to the Undergraduate Government of Boston College (UGBC). The band is best known for its albums How to Save a Life and The Fray. The concert will be on Thursday, April 22, in Conte Forum.
Al Dea, UGBC president and CSOM '10, said that the UGBC's campus entertainment department tried to find an act that would appeal to as many students as possible.
"The overwhelming majority of students wanted Top 40, alternative genre artists, and pop rock alternative acts," said James D'Ambra, executive director of campus entertainment for the UGBC and A&S '10. "The Fray really fits into that. Between the dates we got in Conte and pricing, it worked."
Dea said that the UGBC is still ironing out some of the details of the event, such as the attendance cap. He said that the show will be able to accommodate more students than last weekend's Girl Talk concert, which was held in the Plex. "Obviously, Conte Forum is a larger venue than the Plex, so we'll have more students," he said.
Tickets for the event will go on sale on Monday, April 12, at the Robsham box office for $25 each. Ticket sales will be limited to two per BC ID. D'Ambra said that more information on ticket sales and concert procedures will be released at a time closer to the date of the concert.
