Whether you're a first-year out-of-state student or a fourth-year student returning to campus for the last time or something in-between, this fall is a great opportunity to try new things and get to know a new side of Columbia through live music.
For those familiar with the city, the sounds of "Sandstorm" in Williams-Brice Stadium, cars honking on Assembly Street in 5 p.m. traffic and music playing on your AirPods while walking to class will continue, but Columbia also has some fresh sounds to offer as artists take the stage at venues throughout the city. To help you navigate the live music scene, the arts team has compiled a list of artists coming to Columbia this fall semester.
