Forever Flinging: A Flashback to Flings Passed

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Penn chapter.

Happy Fling everyone! I hope your celebrating is going well, and that you have successfully evaded the authorities. Above all, I hope that the David Guetta concert is everything you wanted and more (note: this was written pre-concert). Speaking of the concert, we have had some pretty awesome performers since Fling began in 1973. Here are the ones I could find; click on their names to listen to some of their music!
