WYCLEF, FLO RIDA PREPARE FOR 'CAMPUS INVASION': MTVU's annual event to take place in Maryland, Philly and Massachusetts

Wyclef Jean and Flo Rida will perform as part of MTVU's 2008 Campus Invasion Music Festival, reports Billboard.

The all-day affairs will be held at the University of Maryland in College Park (May 2), Penn's Landing in Philadelphia (May 3) and the University of Massachusetts in Boston (May 4). Jean is scheduled to headline all three festivals, while other acts – such as the Bravery, Cobra Starship, Simple Plan, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Lloyd, the Spill Canvas and All Time Low – will play on various days.

Pre-sale tickets for students in Philadelphia began on March 14. Ticket sales for the University of Massachusetts concert begin March 24, and ducats for the University of Maryland show will be available on April 1. Further details about the event can be found at mtvu.com.

The 2008 Campus Invasion Music Festival will also hold an online battle of the bands contest, which allows unsigned college acts to compete for a live slot on one of the three festival dates.
