I miss VEISHEA like it was back in 06 and 07. Perfect weather, great music locations on campus, decent music, and perfect weather.

They do not have the money and everybody expects everything at VEISHEA to be free...simple as that.

This. VEISHEA is a shell of its former self. IMO, the university is trying to kill it.

VEISHEA bands used to be so much better back when I was in college. I dont even know how of those bands. ISU used to pay like 30-50G for entertainment. I assume they probabbly have money for 10G.

I believe I read that they spent 100k on music this year or last.

The problem is they want to put on these long musical shows for 4 or 5 hours on both Friday and Saturday. Meaning they have to pay more for having so many acts. Part of this was because of the last riot and keeping people away from "alcohol related events".

Back in the "old days" they used to have a big headliner then some smaller bands done at a separate time. Now with the emphasis on alternative entertainment they are sinking a lot of money in to a lot of bands.
