A parking lot near the soccer field was transformed into a concert venue Friday, Aug. 24 as Umphrey’s McGee and Nelly headlined Greekfest.
“It was great, the energy level was hot,” Nelly said. “It was what we were hoping for – kind of what we were expecting, too. Not just Alabama as the school, but this whole area, the whole state of Alabama has always showed Nelly so much love.”
The crowd continuously grew as Umphrey’s McGee played their hour-long set, and was nearly full as Nelly took the stage. Before the night was finished, Nelly had played all his hits, invited three students on stage and even played “Yea, Alabama.” For more pictures and reviews of Friday’s show, look at the Storify below.
