Neff, in partnership with newly-launched online media technology company eMuze, is storming college campuses this Spring to launch their highly anticipated VERGE CAMPUS TOUR 2013™ presented by KarmaLoop. The Tour, which is anticipated to be without a doubt one of the most sought-after campus events of the year, will be invading 27 universities nationwide throughout April and May and headlined by the hottest MC of 2013, Kendrick Lamar, as well as the legendary Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Steve Aoki. The Tour will also have support from up-and-coming artists Bad Rabbits and 5 & A Dime.

The VERGE CAMPUS TOUR 2013™ is not only a hub to expose students to new emerging artists, entertainment and fashion, but it also showcases top-tier technology and the business behind it to students around the country. During the day, Verge Campus Tour will promote education, entrepreneurship, technology, creativity, fashion and entertainment through its Brand Village, where students are given the opportunity to engage with representatives and test products from sponsors. The Brand Village will feature fashion brands, live artists, presentations, new technology, and music.

Each night, students will gather to witness performances by music’s most-talked- about acts on the verge and be able to get their hands on a super dose of Neff Headwear (one of Karmaloop’s most popular brands) as they unveil their limited collaborative tour t-shirts which will serve as the official merchandise for the tour.

“We could not be more excited to partner with KarmaLoop on the 2013 Verge Tour,” said Shaun Neff, CEO and Founder of Neff. “ We are the brand for youth culture and a mashup of all things innovative and immerging. This is the perfect opportunity to showcase our brand in an authentic atmosphere—a perfect way to unveil some of our new gear to the young people that make us who we are.” said Shaun Neff, founder of Neff.

The Verge Campus Tour will kick off April 4th in Boca Raton, FL and will close May 4th in Watertown, NY. Almost all dates have sold out in advance.
