Student Union Activities has booked an electro-pop band for this year’s Night on the Hill Concert.
Originally scheduled to play at the bottom of Campanile Hill, Passion Pit of Cambridge, Mass., will begin at 9 p.m. Monday at the Lied Center.
“It’s exciting that we got them to come because Passion Pit is such an up-and-coming band,” said Emily Gairns, Leawood senior and vice president of communications for SUA.
The show is free to all students and the Lawrence community and will last one hour.
Megan Do, Wichita junior and live music coordinator with SUA, said the cost to bring Passion Pit was in the thousands.
“We wanted a high energy show to welcome the students,” she said.
Do said the electronic beats of the band will make everyone want to dance.
Susan Hoffman, SUA adviser, said last year’s concert, which brought the musical talents of Ben Kweller, brought a crowd of 2,500 people.
“It’s a great welcome to KU,” Hoffman said. “It’ll be a good introduction to all the things that happen on campus. People don’t have to go off campus to find great things to do.”
