The DU Programming Board recently announced that Milky Chance will be playing MusicFest at this year’s May Days. The band plays May 16 at 7:30 p.m. on Carnegie Green, in rain or shine. Tickets are for sale on the DUPB website for $15 and are only available for students. To get you ready for the concert, here are ten facts that you might not have known about Milky Chance.

2. Milky Chance added Antonio Greger to the band in 2015 for help with extra instrumentals.
