West Virginia University announced Friday the lineup for FallFest, a 28-year Welcome Week staple.
Performing Tuesday at the Evansdale Fields will be Yung Gravy, Shaboozey and COIN.
Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for FallFest and FoodFest. COIN will take the stage at 6 p.m. The free show is open to WVU students with valid student IDs.
Yung Gravy uses his own special recipe to bring originality and positivity to make his one-of-a-kind impact on the rap genre. He samples a wide range of musical styles dating from the 1940s to the present day.
Rising multifaceted artist Shaboozey is sitting atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the fifth week in a row with his smash single “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Shaboozey grew up on an eclectic mix of music encompassing everything from classic hip-hop and R&B, to country and blues.
COIN members Ryan Winnen, Chase Lawrence and Joe Memmel started their musical journey while students at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn. Their new album “I’m Not Afraid of Music Anymore,” set to drop Sept. 13, is led by their single “Strawberry Jam.”
There are three entry gates — Gate A at the Rec Center Tennis Courts, Gate B at the Towers PRT station exit and Gate C on Kittie Blakemore Drive, formerly Rec Center Drive, between the Student Rec Center and the Student Health and Education Building.
WVU student IDs will be swiped at the gates. Students with valid WVU student IDs are permitted one guest age 17 and older. Guest tickets are not required, but guests should be prepared to show proof of age.
All attendees must pass through metal detectors before entering the event and the clear bag policy will be enforced.
Buses will run continuously between the Mountainlair and Braxton Tower portico from 4 p.m. until one hour after the concert concludes. The PRT will also run until one hour after the concert ends.
