The Bryce Jordan Center in University Park has, for decades, hosted some of the most notable artists and performers of their generation. For this upcoming fall 2018 semester, the BJC has plenty of outstanding talent in store for the State College community.
From Shania Twain to Bruce Springsteen to Kanye West, every year the multi-purpose arena manages to book top-notch artists that attracts crowds from near and far. This is predominantly because the Bryce Jordan Center is the largest arena between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia — it’s closest competitor in size is a whopping 140 miles away.
2017 was an exciting concert season for the BJC as they managed to book artists like Lana Del Ray and The Weeknd, both of whom amassed large crowds in the 15,000 seat arena.
Penn State students and surrounding concert-goers should be excited for this upcoming concert season, and don’t forget, tickets tend to sell out quickly for the big-name performers.
