Alternative pop artist VÉRITÉ was named a Brooklyn band to watch and compared to Lana Del Ray by Harper’s Bazaar in September.

Electronic DJ and producer AYO Alex will also perform at the concert.

Undergraduate students with valid student IDs at SU and SUNY-ESF can enter for free, while graduate students and guests can purchase tickets for $22.50 in the Schine Student Center Box Office.

MayFest starts at 1 p.m. and leads into Block Party, which will be held in the Carrier Dome with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.



This year’s Block Party will feature rapper 50 Cent as the headliner with G-Unit, Norwegian electronic dance music artist Kygo and hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd as supporting acts.
