The acts playing at Spring Fling have been booked for awhile now, but the rumors are now confirmed!
Social Committee has officially announced the lineup for the show on May 6th, and it is excellent. In the order they’ll be playing in…
DIRTY PROJECTORS
BLACK LIPS
BIG BOI
BAM!
This cohort follows the loosely defined Spring Fling template that’s [...]
So the ACB is abuzz with rumors—supposedly, and hopefully, true—of Dirty Projectors, Big Boi, and Black Lips possibly maybe playing Spring Fling. From the spring 1994 Argus, here’s an amusing anecdote from a past generation’s Spring Fling planning.
Sometime in early 1994, the Social Committee hired ’90s ska favorites the Mighty Mighty Bosstones to play Spring [...]
[ September 18, 2009; 12:00 PM; ] Apply to Social Committee and help plan Spring Fling 2010:
Spring Fling is an all-campus outdoor concert that happens every May. In the past, artists like GZA, The Hold Steady, and TV on the Radio have come to rock out Wesleyan’s student body.
If you would like to be a member of the Social Committee, the [...]
UPDATE 3:21pm
From an all-campus e-mail:
This is an update of the emergency notification sent earlier this afternoon. A Wesleyan student was fatally shot at Red and Black Café this afternoon. The name of the student will be released upon notification of her immediate family. A gun was recovered at the scene of the [...]

Spring Fling Whoo! Classes no mo. Here is a reminder that we are grownups, so please be responsible and pick up any shit you drop on the Hill:
An open letter to the Wesleyan community:
As you all know, tomorrow is Spring Fling, and we would just like to take this opportunity to [...]
[ May 6, 2009; 12:00 PM; 12:00 PM; ] A show fit for a king! At least two of them!
Spring Fling kicks off at noon with Battle of the Bands winners King George and The Royal Family, featuring George Brady ‘09 (Keys/Vocals), Melanie Brady ‘12 (Vocals), William Franklin ‘09, (Guitar), Jon Myers ‘11 (Drums), Alex Moris ‘09 (Vocals/Hype), Nash Morgan ‘08 (Aux. Percussion/Shenanigans).
And once [...]
Tuesday may be the last day of classes, and Wednesday may be Spring Fling, but that doesn’t mean that Mother Nature cares.
The Argus and the WSA corroborate what was posted here two weeks ago – there probably won’t be another headlining act for Spring Fling besides Clipse.
Because they were running low on funds this semester (and because the economy tanked), the SBC was only able to allocate about $55,000 to the Social Committee to hire Spring [...]
While the Social Committee co-chairs have declined to confirm the information, it appears that Clipse may be the headlining act for this year’s Spring Fling. Earlier, we had reported that Clipse was the first band confirmed and that we were expecting another headlining act to perform, but comments at Sunday’s General Assembly meeting of the [...]
If you’ve got a band, join Battle of the Bands for your shot to open Spring Fling this year:
Have dreams of making it in the real world like Wes favorites MGMT, Santigold, and Amazing Baby? Make those dreams a reality by opening for some of the biggest names in the music biz at Spring Fling [...]
The first confirmed act for Spring Fling this year is CLIPSE.
Confirmed by Myspace, which has them performing at Wesleyan University on the 6th of May this year, two weeks after they’re at Coachella.
So we’ve got a big rap act down. Based on previous years I would still expect another headlining act with indie cred, and [...]
Thirteen brave, bare students run across Andrus during Spring Fling 2005. Originally found on Facebook, the photographer is unknown.
Are you the one who captured this moment of naked Wesleyan history on film? If so, please email me as soon as possible at jlaselva@wes.

Want to help plan Spring Fling 2008? You can still get in on the action, even if you missed last semester’s application deadline. You can apply to the Social Committee, the self-selecting body that chooses the billing for Spring Fling, by answering the following questions:
What have you enjoyed about past Spring Flings? What would [...]
Ed McKeon, a Middletown resident and the prolific blogger behind Caterwauled, provides a different perspective on the happenings at Spring Fling:
Suddenly, a young woman, topless and distraught walked by, followed by a friend who persuaded her to get her blouse back on. The distraught woman and her friend struggled and argued across the length of [...]

An anonymous donor sent in a recording of GZA’s set from Spring Fling today. He says:
All the songs are tagged correctly, I think. Also, all the tracks are split up, so you don’t have to deal with one hour-long file. Oh, and he played every song but the last one (“B.I.B.L.E.”) off Liquid [...]

The WSA and Dean’s Office throw down rules for the big day:
Students are not allowed on the stage. Having students on the stage endangers both students as well as the sound equipment and performers. In addition, performers have the right, by their contract, to stop performing if individuals climb on the stage.
[Uhh right... because Project [...]

From the Yale Daily News:
The YCC was given $140,000 dollars for Spring Fling; Wesleyan was given $56,000 for theirs. But Wesleyan is getting a lot more with their dirty liberal arts dollar. Instead of trying to check a whole lot of boxes – like our mix of pop-punk bullshit (Jimmy Eat World), legitimate hip-hop (The [...]

Sigh.
In recent years, the Spring Weekend has seen Brown play host to the likes of the Flaming Lips, Yo La Tengo, the Roots, Ted Leo, Common, Wilco, the Shins, and others. And this year’s spring fling, taking place April 11-12, will once again pack a mighty wallop, with Vampire Weekend (representing Brown nemesis Columbia) joining [...]
