Oh my God. Oh my God. This is the best thing Brown has ever done. Get ready for some Galang Galang, because the love of my life M.I.A. is coming to Brown the weekend of April 11th:

Spring Weekend will be headlined by rapper Lupe Fiasco and Sri Lankan music sensation M.I.A., the Brown Concert Agency announced today. Mashup artist Girl Talk, cardigan-wearing indie rock darlings Vampire Weekend and the progressive rock jam band Umphrey’s McGee will also perform. . . .

M.I.A., whose real name is Maya Arulpragasam, was chosen in part to help satisfy another goal of BCA - “to bring more diversity to the Spring Weekend line-up,” Horn said. “We think it’s a huge deal that M.I.A. is not only a woman that can command the stage but also comes from Sri Lanka and London and can bring diversity and represent all these cultures that haven’t been represented at Spring Weekend in the past.”

The concerts will be held over a two day period, with Lupe Fiasco and Vampire Weekend performing on Friday, April 11 and the others on Saturday, April 12. Tickets will go on sale starting March 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students can buy tickets for both shows for $20 during the first week of sales. After that, Brown and Rhode Island School of Design students will be able to purchase tickets for $12 for Friday’s show and $15 for Saturday’s. Non-students can pay $15 and $20, respectively.

Really. Brown. I’ve never been more pleased with you.
