A Flock of Seagulls will perform for free at the game's after-party, held in Armory Park. The Liverpool, England-based band was one of the most popular bands of the new wave era.

A Flock of Seagulls is the second well-known band to play in a bowl-sponsored event that day. Neon Trees will play the game's tailgate party on the UA mall before the game.

New Mexico State and Utah State will kick off at 3:30 p.m. at Arizona Stadium. The Arizona Bowl will be televised nationally on CBS Sports Network.
