Due to unforeseen circumstances Neon Trees cancelled the remainder of its 2012 fall tour and will no longer headline this year’s Bulldog Bash.
Student Association president Shelby Balius said the SA office was notified of the cancellation earlier this week, and the office is now searching for a replacement band.
“We have been working the last couple of days to find a replacement act that could book within that quick turn around window,” she said. “We have some options open for us, and we’re currently trying to find a logistical way to book them in time.”
Balius said she hopes a replacement act is found by the end of next week. She also said SA is searching for a new band to book within the same cost range as Neon Trees.
“We’re looking in the same price range that Neon Trees was in, and we’re hoping that we’ll have enough in the sponsorship budget to up that a little if need be,” Balius said. “We’re doing our best to find another act to join Gloriana and Andy Grammer with Archnemesis opening up.”
Balius confirmed Gloriana and Andy Grammer will still be performing, and the winner of the Battle of the Bands competition will still be the opening act at Bulldog Bash.
