Entertainment Unlimited announced Anberlin will be the head­liner for Ferris Fest 2010.

The announce­ment was made last Thursday at the Food Dude 5-star event. In addi­tion to Anberlin, EU said that Mike Posner has con­firmed to be an open­ing act at the event. No other enter­tain­ers have been announced or con­firmed as of yet.

Rachel Moloney, over­all Ferris Fest chair, said the three acts that received the most votes were either unavail­able or raised their price by the time the stu­dent sur­veys were in. After EU put in a few dif­fer­ent offers on bands, they com­piled a final list of bands men­tioned often in the survey.

The EU Executive Board voted on the list of acts and Anberlin ranked num­ber one. Moloney said Mike Posner also went over well on the stu­dent sur­veys and is a very up and com­ing artist.

“We took into con­sid­er­a­tion who would draw the largest crowd, who would put on the best show, and mak­ing sure the cho­sen band fit the rock cri­te­ria stu­dents expressed they wanted,” said Moloney.

Moloney and the rest of EU hope to put on a very diverse show sim­i­lar to the one they had last year. They plan on book­ing at least two more open­ers for Ferris Fest.

“Our goal really is to reach the com­mu­nity and as many stu­dents as pos­si­ble,” said Moloney.
