UW-Madison students and faculty will have the chance to watch OK Go, the infamous treadmill dancers and singers, at the Wisconsin Alumni Student Board's tenth annual All-Campus Party.
The band will wrap up the week's events, which are set to begin April 18.
""All-Campus Party is the nation's largest alcohol-free party at a college. It's a week full of free events put on by WASB for students from students,"" Mike Jurken of WASB said.
According to WASB member Lisa Kibiloski, events for students include Breakfast with Bucky, Bucky's State Fair, All-Campus Idol, Club Bucky, Wear Red, Get Fed Pizza Lunch, Kickball Kickoff and the Spring Football Game.
The winner of All-Campus Idol will get the chance to perform during the concert April 24 and will attend the American Idol Finale event in Los Angeles, Calif. Along with the 2009 All-Campus Idol Winner, performers Friday night will include We The Living, the Nod, and the main band, OK Go. Artists such as Talib Kweli, Ben Kweller, Common, Better than Ezra and Run DMC have performed at ACP in the past.
""It's important that we can provide musical variety for students so we try to get different acts from year to year,"" Kibiloski said. ""OK Go is different from any of the sounds we've had in the recent past and they have great name recognition.""
Students can receive vouchers for the concert at the UW Credit Union on State Street April 13-17. Students are required to have their student ID cards to receive vouchers. Concertgoers can exchange their vouchers for tickets starting at 4:00 p.m. April 24. Concert doors open at 7 p.m. and the first performer will go onstage at 8 p.m.
""Last year's attendance was close to 4,000 people because it was at the Field House. This year the capacity at the Overture Center is around 2,300, and we definitely want to reach that,"" Mike Jurken, WASB concert coordinator, said.
