The Elon University Student Union Board announced Mac Miller and The White Panda will perform at the Spring Show during the final timeout of the first half of Saturday's men's basketball game.
"I think it was an awesome reaction," SUB President Amanda Long said. "When the first artist came on the video, people went crazy. It's been on Twitter, and people have been texting us. I think it's just a great reaction to the artists we chose."
Long worked with SUB Music Chair Jenna Thrash to gauge student interest using an annual survey.
For the first time, the reveal took place before halftime.
"We wanted to make sure we didn't take away from all of the activities that always take place during halftime," Long said. "We wanted to make sure that all of the people that came out to see it actually got to see it."
The Spring Show will take place at 7 p.m. March 30 in Alumni Gym. Video by SUB Elon.
