On Tuesday, the Mississippi State University Student Association announced Eli Young Band would be the headlining act for Bulldog Bash 2012.
Eli Young Band will replace Neon Trees, the original headlining band that canceled its fall tour last week, including its scheduled appearance at the Bulldog Bash concert.
According to the MSU Student Association website, Eli Young Band is a renowned country band from Texas with multiple awards nominations by the Country Music Association, including “Song of the Year” and “Vocal Group of the Year.”
According to a news release released on Oct. 18, Neon Trees attributed the cancelation of the Nov. 2 Bulldog Bash tour date to personal circumstances.
“Due to an unforeseen personal circumstance, we need to cancel our upcoming college tour in November,” a representative for the band said. “We look forward to working with everyone to try and reschedule these performances and to come back to each town as soon as possible. Many apologies, Neon Trees.”
