Washington University’s Social Programming Board (SPB) announced that co-headliners Earthgang and Bryce Vine will be performing at Night at the Pageant (NAP) on Nov. 8.

Earthgang is a hip-hop duo based out of Atlanta made up of two rappers, Olu and WowGr8. The duo are best known for their hit songs “Meditate” and “Sacrifices.” The other headliner, Bryce Vine, is a rapper and singer from New York City, and his top songs are “Drew Barrymore” and “La La Land.”

Students can expect not one, but two headlining acts at this year’s Night at the Pageant (NAP), which will take place on Friday, Nov. 9, according to Vice President of Programming and Head of the Student Programming Board (SPB), Abby Sode. This shift in NAP programming is the result of a $25,000 increase in NAP’s talent budget, which was approved unanimously by Student Union (SU) Treasury on Sept. 3. 

After Washington University’s spring 2024 Walk In Lay Down (WILD) was held at diminished capacity in the Athletic Complex (AC) instead of on Mudd Field on April 26, a Student Life poll found that the majority of students surveyed had a relatively positive experience of the event, despite preferring it being held outdoors in the future.

Washington University’s Spring WILD (Walk In, Lay Down) attendance has been capped at 3,000 for undergraduates, following an announcement that it will be held in the Athletic Center’s Fieldhouse.

WILD is just around the corner, and we are all super excited. Ahead of the big event, I wanted to clarify some concert norms and guidelines.

Washington University’s spring Walk In Lay Down (WILD) will take place in the Athletic Complex (AC) instead of Mudd Field, a decision announced to students via email, April 23. 

Rapper Joey Bada$$ will be the headlining act at Spring WILD, which will take place on Mudd Field on Friday, April 26, per Washington University’s Social Programming Board (SPB), April 22.

Student Union Treasury unanimously approved the $4.6 million general budget allocating the 2024-2025 Student Activities Fee, which is almost 9% more than last year, Feb. 20.

I first heard about NAP on Oct. 27, the Friday morning before Halloween, when the SPB mysteriously appeared in my inbox. It was an email titled “SPB Presents a Night at the Pageant: NAP!” 

For the first time in Washington University’s history, the Student Programming Board’s (SPB) fall concert was held at the Pageant on the Delmar Loop instead of on campus, Nov. 9. A majority of students surveyed considered the concert, rebranded from Fall WILD to Night at the Pageant (NAP), to be an overall success.
