Veishea 2013 Bands Announced

[ISUCyclones2015]

Here's a question I've had since I was a wee little freshman. What is their total entertainment budget (ish), and why do they split it up among 6-8 minor acts instead of getting one pretty great one? Is it because they're trying to represent multiple genres?

P.S. Songs 3 & 20 are my favorites.

This year he didn't give me an exact but it was roughly 200k for the concerts alone at VEISHEA. When VEISHEA came back a few years ago after the hiatus, the budget was barely over $100k

They do it for the "value". For $20 you can see 10+ different people perform over two days. Especially with SUB now doing a yearly "big" concert (last year was Lupe and this year is Passion Pit), they are making that one the expensive one and focusing on making VEISHEA a festival of music, not just one concert with 2-3 acts.

That was the explanation given to me anyway, because I asked the same thing.

they stopped making the concerts free my soph or jr year and I never bought the $5 or whatever it cost wristband, because none of the acts were ever worth the value to me. Now if they had put it all toward Dierks Bentley (Google tells me his fee his $150k-200k)....I would have snapped up those wristbands.

Their goal is to make it two large concert days. Country day 1 and then whatever is popular, which this year is Indie and Rap apparently. It is gonna take a few years to get it to be that big though, but that is VEISHEA's long term goal if enrollment continues to grow.

I'll be doing other things than this over veishea, these are terrible to me.

Looking for some DSO or Further? maybe some Ratdog?

Meh...B.O.B. sucked when he opened for Lupe last year. I'd rather them bring Lupe back!

Huh?

B.o.B Strange Cloud performance on 4/20? I smell skunk already.

He didn't, and it would probably be the other way around if they were on tour together (B.O.B. is a bigger name artist).

Actually, the tour name was Steppin Lasers which was coming from Lupe Fiasco's up and coming album Lasers. Lupe headlined.

My bad, thought he was referring to the Lupe show last year in Hilton. To be fair though this tour was right as B.O.B was starting to blow up, guarantee he would headline over Lupe now.

B.o.B.!!!!! VEISHEA finally brought in a good rap/hip-hop artist!

Let's hope this doesn't go all "Mike Jones" in our face again... :no:
