The major universities in New Jersey always seem to be throwing some great shows. Recently, Brand New and mewithoutYou performed at Ramapo College. Kevin Devine has performed at The College of New Jersey a few times. Envy on the Coast has played at NJIT in Newark and Montclair State University. There are two major fests every year, Rutgersfest and Montclairfest.
The line-up for Rutgersfest 2009 will be announced on April 16th. The end of the year free concert and carnival for the Rutgers community will be held on May 1st. The fest is outdoors and rain or shine. It will be held on the Livingston Campus from 12pm until 8:30pm. Announcement to be posted on April 16th.
No word on Montclairfest 2009 yet, but I assume the line-up will be announced soon.
In the meanwhile, there are a few noteworthy college shows going on throughout the Garden State.

Are any shows going on at your school in New Jersey? Let me know.
Wish I could make it out to that Kevin show, but I hope you have fun if you go!
ReplyDeleteKnow any more information on that mewithoutYou show besides what is listed on their MySpace? I'm probably going to try to go since I live near TCNJ's campus, so hopefully it's open to the public!
