The Student Association confirmed late Monday that The Chainsmokers will headline this year's Spring Fest, scheduled for April 23 in Alumni Arena, after Ticketmaster leaked the artists early. Mac Miller and Coleman Hell will also perform alongside a still-unnamed fourth artist, according to SA Entertainment Director Terese Regan.
UB students both current and former, as well as students from other schools, took to Twitter to react to the news. The reactions were generally positive for the lineup that includes electronic, music and dance, hip-hop and indie genres.
