Penn Kids Gonna Party Like It’s 1999

The lineup for the annual spring fling concert at the University of Pennsylvania has been set, and what a lineup it is!

Yes, that’s right, the two biggest acts on the planet will come to Philadelphia and play on Penn’s campus: Ben Folds and Third Eye Blind.

I could only imagine the conversation went something like, “Hey, we need to get the biggest semi-popular pop-rock groups from the late 1990s. Who can we get?” (And I like Ben Folds. I saw him at Spring Fling when he played it seven years ago.)

“Both Ben Folds and Third Eye Blind were very popular on our Facebook searches and on our student-body survey, so we think that everybody will be really excited about them,” said Wharton senior and SPEC director Catey Mark.

Ben Folds, the DP reported, was excited to play with Third Eye Blind. Oooh!
