On Oct. 6, the iconic Day on the Hill returned to the University of Kansas, and fans traveled from far and wide to see the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mammoth Live brought back KU’s Day on the Hill for the first time since 2007. Grammy Award-winning band Turnstile stopped in Lawrence to headline the event shortly after making their \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d debut. The lineup also included Die Spitz and Slayyyter as openers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The environment was electric. Thousands of fans crowded in, but there was still room for crowd surfing, mosh pits and headbanging. Kansas students, Lawrence locals and KU alumni attended the show, but they weren’t the only ones. Students traveled from other schools to see the concert. One attendee drove more than 10 hours from South Dakota to see Turnstile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other Midwest students made a much shorter trip. University of Nebraska-Lincoln students Elijah Meier and Lydia Paprocki came to see Slayyyter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have a lot of local bands that will come and play around the Lincoln area, but not a whole lot. This is big,\u201d Paprocki said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lawrence has a vibrant history with rock and alternative music. Iconic acts such as Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, and Linkin Park have all made stops in Lawrence. This genre of music is important to Lawrence, and other schools lack the same rock music scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis attracted us; we like this music a lot more,\u201d Meier said. \u201cNebraska’s very country music.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two expressed their excitement for the show, praising KU for its live music scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attendees said they would like to see Day on the Hill continue. When asked what artists they would want to see at future events, attendees mentioned alternative dance music artist R\u00dcF\u00dcS DU SOL, along with AD\u00c9LA and other electronic pop artists. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
