T-PAIN AND WALK THE MOON AT BU SPRING FLING

Spring Fling is a fantastic tradition at Binghamton University: students reveling after finals and finishing papers, classes on their way out, and seniors preparing for graduation. The community is welcomed during the celebration, and carnival rides and booths stretch from the Peace Quad to the Student Wing. The headliners this year are spectacular: there is nothing like the sultry vocoded voice of the inimitable T-Pain, and indie rockers Walk the Moon’s infectious pop guarantee a party worth howling at.

T-Pain hit the national scene in the mid-2000s, with a remarkable sound that you may know as ‘that electronic sounding voice,’ with hits like “Buy U A Drank,” and “I’m N Luv (With A Stripper),” essential parts of every millennial’s high school dance. Walk the Moon is indie-pop-rock; they broke through in mid-2012 with songs like “Anna Sun” and "Tightrope.” Their music is light and dance-y, and reminiscent of car rides in mid-July.

Opening up the night will be student band The Three Fours. Get down and dirty and dance your butt off; you deserve it. Spring Fling is free. Festivities start around 1pm, and the concert takes place at on May 7th at 8pm. Binghamton University is located at 4400 Vestal Parkway East in Vestal.
