The Festival Files: All Good

Story by: Leah Anderson

This summer might just prove to be a battle of the epic music festivals. After Bonnaroo and Coachella released incredibly impressive lineups, The All Good Music Festival followed suit this week and released an equally musically exciting lineup.

Mike Posner Brings a Bang to College Park

Looking for Mike Posner? Check the stratosphere. Up-and-coming singer and Duke senior couldn’t stress enough in an interview before Saturday night’s SEE-sponsored concert that he’s doing it, and doing it big. A student by week and touring artist by weekend, Posner’s schedule could make anyone feel unmotivated; a full day of class leads to late [...]

“Change Up” Your Halloween Weekend

How do you plan to kick-off your Halloween weekend?

Delfest 2009: Braving the Storm

Coming into Delfest this past weekend, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. This was my first festival after all, and as much as I’d listened to what seems like endless amounts of festival stories (in addition to reading a few “festival guides” and “festival checklists” to preprare myself) I still had no idea what [...]

Duke Ellington Jazz Festival

This weekend the 5th annual Duke Ellington Jazz Festival will take place in our nation’s capital. The event starts Friday and will feature numerous jazz performances from various artists. Should be a good one. NBCWashington.com has a preview of the festival: http://www.nbcwashington.com/around_town/the_scene/Brunch-and-Bossa-at-Cashions.html.

All Good: Making it through the weekend
