One of the best parts about being a Penn State student is that even though State College is located in Middle-Of-Nowhere, PA, the Bryce Jordan Center consistently brings great acts to Happy Valley.

With the busy life and schedule of a college student, it’s easy to miss announcements of the artists and groups visiting the area over the course of the semester. To simplify your life just a bit, we’ve compiled a list of the major acts taking the BJC stage throughout this semester.
