The first week of the 2020 Spring semester will be headlined by the 12th annual Uproar concert in the FIU soccer fields.

UPROAR is a festival style concert hosted by the Student Programming Council.

Jessica Horsham, President of SPC, said that this event provides students a safe space to meet new people and hang out with friends.

“This will be our kickoff to the new year and we will hopefully be able to provide a happy welcoming for all students and expose them to the other free and fun events we may have and introduce them to other organizations on campus,” she said.

The featuring artists this year are Super Duper Kyle and Martin Jensen.

Jensey Matute, a senior public relations major, said this is her first time attending and said she is super excited because SPC never disappoints.

“I’m definitely expecting a lot of cool giveaways and great music because I have some friends who are performing this year,” she said. Her friend Jekasole, an FIU alumna, will be performing.

Horsham said it is difficult to measure success when hosting more than 100 events throughout the year.

She said one of the biggest measures SPC uses is not just how many students attend the festival, but how many students were actually engaged in the activities and enjoying the events.

“Students’ experiences while they are attending are just as important, if not more, to us than simply how many attended,” Horsham said.

A few things to keep in mind for the night: bags are allowed, but students will pass by security where their bags will be checked; empty water bottles can be brought in to fill up in the water stations inside; and re-entry is not allowed.

Thursday, Jan. 9 at the FIU Soccer Fields; gates open at 5 p.m. and close at 10 p.m. Free for FIU students with One Card. $20 for non-FIU members and can be purchased on FIU Athletics website.
