MSU's annual spring concert featuring Passion Pit has been canceled.

The indie rock band was originally supposed to perform at the Breslin Center on Thursday, but that will no longer be the case, according to a tweet sent out by MSU's University Activities Board, or UAB.

In the tweet, UAB said ticket refunds are still "being sorted out."

The event was to be hosted by UAB, the Associated Students of Michigan State University and Impact 89 FM, the student radio station.

There have been multiple cancelations of concerts in the past few years, including Wiz Khalifa in August 2014. In April 2013, the Ne-Yo concert was also canceled due to low ticket sales at the time. 

In April 2014, a concert that was set to to feature B.o.B. and Machine Gun Kelly was canceled, though that event was advertised by an independent promoter.

UAB was unable to be reached for comment by the time of publication.
