Musicians Corner is celebrating its 15th year bringing free music to the Nashville community, and for those on campus, it’s just a short walk away at Centennial Park. Past headliners…
Oh yes, another quasi-personality evaluation that is not backed by science or empirical evidence. But hey, if you’re dying from midterms like the majority of the college population, maybe you’ll…
Three things in this life are certain: death, taxes, and the fact that Pitchfork Music Festival will boast the most eclectic, value-packed lineup of the year. In 2019, this proves…
Considering South by Southwest’s dizzying size, it’s no surprise that this year’s mammoth festival-conference-conglomerate will feature roughly fifty Nashville-based bands and musicians. (That’s not including countless Nashville-based “unofficial” artists making…
Music Festivals! They’re so much fun. All your favorite artists are there! You can’t wait to see them all. You start listening to them obsessively, imaging what it will be like when you obviously get front row at each show. The festival approaches, the schedule drops, and to your complete horror EVERYONE you want to see plays at the exact same time.
You want Lorde tickets. We know. Here’s the first clue: Where are you most likely to find melodrama on campus? Go to that location to find the next clue! Oh, and…
Being from the Chicago area, I greatly anticipate the release of the Lollapalooza and Pitchfork Music Festival lineups each year. Some years are certainly weaker than others, but, this year, I think that both festivals put together strong lineups.
Boy do we have news for you! WRVU and Rhythm N’ Blooms have teemed up to give YOU a free full, 3-day festival pass. Held in beautiful Knoxville, TN from April 6-8, these are tickets you won’t want to miss!
Rites of Spring began in the 1960’s with the goal to connect students to the greater Nashville community. The festival is put on by Music Group, a branch of Vanderbilt Programming Board. While many universities hold on-campus music festivals, Rites of Spring is unique due to the major acts that have graced the stage as well as the festival being open to the Nashville community. Some of these acts include Red Hot Chili Peppers (1989), Phoenix (2005), Spoon (2008), Drake (2010), and many more you can see here. This year Rites will be held April 20th and 21st and tickets are available at Sarratt Cinema or online. While there is still one more act to be announced (hopefully an alternative act since that genre is still lacking), the line-up already features a variety of acts from all different corners of the music scene.
With BUKU fast approaching, we at WRVU would like to highlight some of our favorite acts performing in New Orleans.
The lineup this year is as strong as it is diverse. It’s a deep lineup, but the headliners are no scrubs.
It took Rolling Loud Festival less than three years to become the largest Hip-Hop festival in the world. After three consecutive sold out festivals in Miami, FL, co-founders Tariq Cherif…
Pitchfork Music Festival boasts an impressive lineup that is as eclectic and genre-spanning a collection as it is all-encompassing. Just as it has in past years, Pitchfork delivered a list that truly has something for everyone without relying on superfluous bill-filling bands or kitsch or campiness. Here’s what to look forward to…

Due to her doctor’s recommendation, Goldenvoice announced on February 23rd that Beyoncé would not perform at this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Instead, she would headline in 2018 when she is not in the third trimester of twin pregnancy. Despite being replaced by her “Telephone” partner, Lady Gaga, ticket buyers are angry and want refunds. Do these ticket buyers deserve a refund?
The festival bubble is growing more and more every year. Lineups are becoming progressively weaker, attendance is going down, and variety is spreading thin. The desire to appeal to everybody ends up not fully satisfying anyone. Differentiating yourself is now the key to a successful festival, and, in my opinion, the one that has done that the best is Rolling Loud Music Festival in Miami, FL.
Wax Mistress’ members represent the trifecta of Nashville-area universities–Vanderbilt, Belmont, and MTSU. With an already-well-developed sound and ubiquitous presence, playing tons of shows all over the city, these newcomers are certainly more than the sum of their parts.
Continuing with our artist highlights of Thursday’s Turkey Jerky Jam at The End, we have the Nashville-based Born Animal. If you want a preview of this excitement before you see their set live, check them out here, and keep reading below to learn more.
WRVU’s Turkey Jerky Jam artist highlight continues with Spirit Week. We are very excited about these people. Elated, in fact. You will see just why they are so praiseworthy in person at The End on Thursday night, but in order to satisfy your pre-show jitters, sprinkle your ears with the sweet jams they have on their bandcamp.
Our next WRVU Turkey Jerky Jam artist highlight is Boyscott. Oh boy. These guys are something real special, folks.
If you haven’t already heard the word around the block, WRVU is hosting a show at The End on November 3rd at 8 pm (7 pm doors). We wanted to highlight the artists gifting us with their presence, and first up is: THE PILLS.
It’s finally spring here at Vanderbilt. The air is brimming with pollen, day parties have commenced, and everyone’s excited for Vanderbilt’s annual spring music festival. This year’s lineup is incredibly diverse: from electronic beat-maker Porter Robinson to comedic rapper Lil Dicky, there’s bound to be an artist for everyone’s tastes this year. With Rites of Spring just around the corner, it’s always a good idea to get to know the artists a bit in advance. So, check out the synopsis of this year’s lineup below.
