CSUN was the place to be Saturday night for concertgoers, combining an eclectic mix of popular music and artists to create Big Show, CSUN’s once a year concert for students.
Noelle Chesnut, executive producer of Associated Students Production, said Big Show sold out for the first time in its 12-year history, selling 13,250 tickets in less than 48 hours. Concertgoers arrived well before the 5 p.m. gate opening, bristling with excitement to see their favorite act.
“I came to the concert because I’m a huge Big Sean fan, mainly his style and music,” said David Anderson, senior business major.
Headlined by hip hop artist Big Sean and Diplo, a producer and electronica DJ, provided a mix for students that had not been seen yet.
