This is one free concert that I will not be attending. Usually Springfest is reserved for rock acts and yet the Roots who play every fucking college in the states get to headline this. Last year we had Our Lady Peace, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, and Live (good for a 90s/jam show). I'm disappointed that some of my money goes towards paying these artists to play a show that is supposed to appeal to "everyone"

It's fucking free!

If you don't go you should probably stay in and post on the internet, though

Mraz was so much better before he signed a record deal.

People that attended told me.

When I was stillat that school, our Springfest got cancelled one year because of the Patriots riots. The newspapers said it was Northeastern University's fault. :x

The next year we were supposed to get the Black Eyed Peas, but they wanted $150k. We got Switchfoot instead. :|
