Rae Sremmurd, Marian Hill, and Bibi Bourelly
We have received information from a Bacchanal committee member confirming multiple tips that Rae Sremmurd, Marian Hill, and Bibi Bourelly are this year’s headliners for the annual Spring Bacchanal concert. According to our source, Public Safety and administrators in charge of planning Bacchanal are stonewalling the Committee from sharing any information about this year’s headliners with the student body until after all the tickets have been reserved.
As was previously announced, the student band EVELINE will open the concert following their Battle of the Bands win. EVELINE features Zibo Gao, CC ’19, Sias Merkling, CC ’19, Bruce Young, CC ’19, Nick Greene, SEAS ’19, and Marco Starger SEAS ’19. DJ Kassius Klay (aka Klay Roberts, CC ’16) came in second, and will be the house DJ for Bacchanal. This year’s concert theme is “They Don’t Want You to Bacch.”
The concert will take place on Saturday, April 2, 2016 on Low Steps from 12:30 to 6:00PM and is expected to be a much longer show than last year’s performance. Unlike last year’s concert, which required students to pay a $7 ticket fee, this year’s show will return to being free of charge to all undergraduate students in CC, SEAS, BC, and GS. Each undergraduate is allowed to reserve only one ticket in their name for the show, and as a general reminder, tickets are being released in four waves of 1,000 at the following times on Eventbrite:
Thursday March 24th: 11:30AM
Friday March 25th: 6:00PM
Saturday March 26th: 11:00AM
Monday March 28th: 8:00PM
We have received no update yet on the stage layout situation.
The Bacchanal Committee has declined to comment on any information from our source regarding the mechanics of this year’s show, including headliners, ticket distribution, and stage set-up.

@Larry David What? Is this the guy who tried to give me his mixtape on the subway last week?
@Anonymous Who???
@Anonymous Uhh, who the fuck are these people? I thought the whole point of Bacchanal was to brag to friends who don’t go to Columbia. Ugh.
@Stop hating on the bacchanal committee They had booked Lukas graham (7 years) in addition which would have made this the most diverse lineup ever, but Lukas Graham pulled out last minute inexplicably. They truly get the best lineup given the money they have and administrative bullshit they have to deal with. Other schools charge their students 30-50 dollars for their spring concerts
@Anonymous “but Lukas Graham pulled out last minute ”
Thank fucking god.
@cc '16 does the bacchanal board even bother to poll the student body about their musical tastes? maybe i have some sample bias, but it’s hard to believe that most of us are into rap / hip hop as much as they (people in the board) seem to be. i mean, they should at least try to diversify a bit.
some food for thought: they pick student performers from a battle of the bands, yet they haven’t had a single band as headliner in my four years here. instead, we’ve had macklemore, lupe fiasco, big sean, and now rae sremmurd…
@This is the worst Bacchanal lineup They should all be fired.
@doesnt matter the fuck is wrong with your website
@ignorant I don’t know any of these people are they good?
@Anonymous No.
