A college concert event can be a fun way to blow off steam, especially if you choose a theme that lets the audience get in on the action. A fun theme can boost attendance, enhance the experience, and give you and the crowd a chance to get creative with costumes, staging, and humorous themes. If you’re planning a concert for your campus, below are a few exciting ideas to get you started.

3 Ideas for a Themed College Concert

1. Hip-Hop

Exam week is a stressful time for many college students. To help them relax before a big test, plan a concert a week or two before exam week starts. Whether you’re hosting a celebrity guest or local acts, a hip-hop concert is the perfect opportunity to dance to high-energy beats and sing along to fun tunes. You can request guests to wear costumes to add a fun twist to the concert. 

2. Rock & Alternative

Modern rock stars tend to look and dress like ordinary people, but the history of the genre features some wild looks. If you’re planning a college rock concert, encourage attendees to adopt the teased hair and lavish makeup worn by bands such as Kiss, Whitesnake, Poison, or Motley Crue.

3. Jazz

A theme can also be an effective marketing tool if you’re planning a classical music event on campus. If you’re planning a jazz concert, add a timeless theme to transport your guests back in time. Create a Roaring Twenties theme where guests can wear sparkling dresses and suspenders. Make sure that the staging reflects the era by using LED video panels that project images from that time.
