As the weather gets warmer, parking lots at stadiums throughout the city will be packed with concertgoers tailgating, waiting for their favorite performers to take the stage.
With summer a few weeks away, Cabrini students are beginning to fill their summer schedules with as much excitement as possible. Three months of no school means free time for college students.
The Philadelphia area offers a variety of venues throughout the year for the students to fill their free time. From athletic events to concerts, there is never a dull moment in Philly.
Due to the variety of venues in the area, Cabrini students often travel from their summer residencies back to the Cabrini area to attend concerts. Freshmen Christopher Ogonowski said, “This will be my third time seeing the Dave Mathews Band, and the second time seeing them at the Tweeter Center. They are great live, and I love the atmosphere at the Tweeter Center.”
In the past, shows with a variety of artists sharing the stage have been a hit. This summer the Tweeter Center will host Jay-Z on Thursday, July 3 and the Y100 FEZtival on Monday, May 26. The FEZtival will be headlined by Audioslave, and will include 11 other bands, including Beck, The Used, The Roots, and AFI.
Junior graphic design major Leslie Glavin said, ” Although I like the bands, I would rather not go to the FEZtival just because it is a Y100 show and there’s going to be a bunch of little kids there, and I hate shows overrun with middle school kids.”
The Q102 Radio Show on Friday, May 30, is another radio station sponsored show that is headlined by Wayne Wonder, and features artists such as Jewel, Third Eye Blind, and Fabulous.
Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera will also be touring together in the “Justified and Stripped” tour which will be appearing at the First Union Center in Philadelphia on Friday, Aug. 8.Whatever your music taste may be, this summer is shaping up to have all kinds of summer theme music.
