Story of the Year coming to U.V.S.C.

Utah Valley State College gets ready to wrap up the semester by hosting a concert with the bands Story of the Year and The Bravery playing at the McKay Events Center in Orem.

The event will take place Tuesday, April 8 at 7:30p.m. and doors open at 6:30p.m. The tour is part of a promotional campaign for Story of the Year’s new album release “The Black Swan” which is scheduled to his stores April 22.

The Utah concert is the third stop in their spring tour. The show was originally scheduled for the Salt Lake Fairgrounds, but sponsors relocated it to U.V.S.C. to better accommodate the audience with the unpredictable April weather.

The concert is sponsored by X-96, The Daily Herald, Ken Garff, Spring, and Novell who have been hosting many ticket and prize giveaways as the concert grows closer.

“Its great, I got five tickets from X-96 when I went in to their studio. They were just giving them out for free. You just had to spin a wheel to see how many you would get,” said U.V.S.C. student Dan Eicher.

Story of the Year has headlined many big shows in Utah including the Vans Warped Tour and the Taste of Chaos Tour. Many U.V.S.C. students seem to be excited for the tour to arrive.

“I am excited to see Story of the Year. They always seem to put on a good show and it is a good break during the end of the semester,” said U.V.S.C. student Carrie Andrews.

Story of the Year has had great success with their 2003 smash debut album “Page Avenue” and their second release in 2005 “In the Wake of Determination.” The 2003 single “Until the Day I Die” received platinum awards for their album sales.


The bands The Spring Tour will include 40 shows ending June, 2 in Melbourne, Australia.
