UT Brings Bands Back to Campus

SAVAGE LIVE Concert Series to Start in March

The University of Toledo Athletic Department recently announced the return of national acts to John F. Savage Arena, beginning with an arena rock fest in March.  This will be the venue’s first self-promoted concert since 2009.

The goal of the multi-event series, collectively billed as SAVAGE LIVE, is to bring music and other outside events back to the venue, creating entertainment opportunities multiple time a year that involve both the campus and the community.

“Savage Arena has a long history of hosting world-class event,” UT Associate Athletic Director Tony Zaworski said.  “We aim to provide more reasons for our students to stay on campus as well as opportunities for those who might not normally attend events at Savage to come see what a great facility and campus we have.”

Zaworski went on to add, “SAVAGE LIVE will appeal to a broad range of fans; we are looking to book acts from all genres of music, from country to rock to pop, rap, and R&B.”

The concerts will be promoted through the athletic department and open to the public, with discounted tickets available to students.  

A major announcement regarding the festival lineup is expected on Wednesday.  For more details, please visit UTRockets.com.
