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.
