University Union is rolling back the clock at Sunday’s Juice Jam Festival.

Third Eye Blind will headline the fourth annual event, which will move from the Standart Parking Lot, which rests in the shadow of Lawrinson Hall, to near Skytop Hall on South Campus.

The rock band, whose self-titled debut album took off a decade ago thanks to hits such as ‘Semi-Charmed Life’ and ‘Jumper,’ will headline the festival with supporting act Max Bemis, lead singer of Say Anything. Dance-rock band White Rabbits will open.

The University Union concert will run from noon to 6 p.m., with free buses scheduled during the day to carry the audience to and from the show. Student organization representatives will also be at the festival to meet with students.

Kelly Bertog, co-director of UU concerts, said the move had been in the student organization’s plans for a long time, as it wasn’t happy with the show being played in a parking lot.

‘It’s just a much more inviting and relaxing atmosphere, so we just thought it would add to the pleasantness and the relaxation vibe the festival gives,’ he said. ‘It’s just sort of a welcome back for students, so we thought it would be a lot more fun to have it out there versus the cold and uneven parking lot that it used to be held at.’

Pop-punk bands The Startling Line and Motion City Soundtrack played the show last year, with Blackalicious sandwiched in between.

Tickets are available at the Schine Student Center box office until the day of the show. They are $10 for Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students with valid I.D., and $15 for others. Cameras are not allowed at the show.
