Sold-out Spring Fair concert will feature headliner Meek Mill
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on the sold-out Spring Fair concert, its headliner and how the lineup was chosen.
- The News-Letter reported that Meek Mill will headline the April 30 concert, which has room for 1,800 people and has sold out; Tamara Jade will open.
- The paper reported that the event was planned by LEED with representatives from several student groups, including the SGA, and that university administrators were overseeing it for the second year.
- The article says students voted for rap as the preferred genre, after which representatives contacted artists, according to HOP co-chair Snigdha Panda.
- The reporter writes that students gave different reactions: Reygenald Ines was excited, while Robbie Kuang had not heard of Mill before the announcement.
- The article adds that Panda attributed the ticket limit to Recreation Center space and safety rules, saying tickets sold out within hours.
