The alternative band All Time Low and R&B artist Raheem DeVaughn will perform at The University of Toledo Friday, Oct. 3, as the headlining acts of the Homecoming concert.
“This combination of bands was chosen because we felt that they would appeal to the largest demographic possible,” said Krystal Weaver of Campus Activities and Programming, which is sponsoring the show.
She said All Time Low is an up-and-coming alternative band that is gaining a lot of momentum right now, and DeVaughn is an established hip-hop/R&B performer.
All Time Low is from Maryland and features Alexander William Gaskarth on vocals and guitar, Jack Bassam Barakat on guitar, Zachary Steven Merrick on bass, and Robert Rian Dawson on drums. The group’s 2007 disc,
So Wrong It’s Right, includes the singles “Poppin’ Champagne,” “Dear Maria, Count Me in” and “Six Feet Under the Stars.”

DeVaughn’s debut,
The Love Experience, came out in 2005 and included the singles “You” and “Guess Who Loves You More.” His follow-up disc,
Love Behind the Melody, features the hit “Woman.”
The concert will be held in UT’s Carter Field on the southeast corner of Main Campus‚ near Dorr Street and Douglas Road.
Gates will open at 8 p.m. with the concert scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m.
Tickets are on sale at www.utcap.org. Advance tickets cost $15 for UT students and $20 for the public.
Also at the concert the Homecoming Court’s top 10 will be announced. CAP and this year’s Homecoming Commission hope that this will increase the excitement around this portion of Homecoming week and encourage people to get involved.
