mtvU is organizing the events -- in partnership with the Save Darfur Coalition -- that take place in Austin, Atlanta, and Philly. Pitchfork also reports, "Since another one of the festival's goals is to promote up-and-coming collegiate musicians (okay, that one makes more sense), three unsigned, college-enrolled artists will round out each of the three lineups."

 

Dates/Lineups:

04-22 Austin, TX - The Backyard (The Shins, the Rapture, Shiny Toy Guns, the Academy Is..., Ronnie Day)
04-27 Atlanta, GA - Hi Fi Buys (Fabolous, Rick Ross, Rich Boy, D.G. Yola)
04-29 Philadelphia, PA - Penn's Landing (Kidz in the Hall, K-Os, Kenna, Gym Class Heroes, Dashboard Confessional, Augustana)
