Concert on the Steps

Concert on the Steps is a concert held annually every spring. It is part of Bacchanal. Past performers have included Outkast, They Might Be Giants, Ben Folds Five, Kanye West, George Clinton, Fuel (band), and Destiny's Child.

Artists are chosen each year by Columbia Concerts; the organization claims to have been consistently ahead of its time for the last decade by inviting groups on the cusp of hitting it big. Unfortunately, this means that current students frequently complain about never getting performers who have already hit it big. Students also frequently complain about the frequency with which rap and hip-hop groups are featured, as opposed to other genres.
