Alternative pop musician Coleman Hell will headline University Union’s first Bandersnatch Concert Series show of the spring semester. Student band Pizza Party will open for the Canadian artist, according to a UU press release.

Hell will take the stage in Schine Underground 8 p.m. Wednesday night, doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale at the Schine Box Office Friday 9 a.m. and will cost $5 with a valid SU/ESF ID.

The Canadian singer is best known for electronic music but his song “2 Heads” incorporates styles from other genres. The song, featured on his self-titled EP, has spent 36 weeks on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 chart and has over 13 million streams on Spotify. His debut album is expected to be released this year.

The concert will take place the night before Hell embarks upon his first ever U.S. tour.

Pizza Party, comprised of four students in the Bandier program, will warm up the crowd before Hell takes the stage. The student group, well known for their blend of rock, hip-hop and pop, are due to release an EP later this year.

Past Bandersnatch artists include Raury, X Ambassadors and Tribe Society.
