Lupe Fiasco has left the building and the fireworks have taken center stage! Look to the Milwaukee sky for a halftime show!

Hip-Hop Has Saved My Life

Lupe is causing a Fiasco up in the Amphitheatre! Opening with “Letting Go,” Lupe rolled into a medley of “Word I Never Said,” “Down,” and the highlight of the night so far has been a smashing version of “I Don’t Wanna Care Right Now!” Lupe got the crowd moving even more with “Go Go ‘Miltown’ Gadget Flow.”

Lupe keeps on bringing the classics with “Paris, Tokyo” and “Out of My head” from the new album ‘Lasers.’ Stay tuned!!Click to view slideshow.

We’re almost there!

Prophetic is tearing up the stage at PANTHERFEST….. RIGHT NOW! Get in here, the party’s just started! Prophetic and his crew are putting fuel on the fire and pumping up your fellow students for Lupe and Girl Talk as the crowds filter into the Marcus Amphitheater for the event of the year.

We cannot wait to see Lupe Fiasco! We’re thinking he’ll open with “Til I get There” and close with “The Must Go On,” what do you think he’ll play? Fingers crossed for some “Kick, Push” tonight!

We are a mere 10 minutes away from Lupe Fiasco’s triumphant return to UWM…. Are you ready Milwaukee?

Ring that bell!

The line is moving fast but the DJ plays on! Lupe hits the stage at 8pm, followed by a firework show and Girl Talk at 10pm! We hear the fastest pitch at the baseball throwing tent is in the 60s and we have witnessed hundreds of UWM students and faculty dominating the bell ring game! Union Programming’s own Becca Grassl was one of the first to ring the bell:

The Summerfest Grounds are clearing out, folks! We can hear Lupe doing scales from outside the Amphitheater as the crowd swarms the doors to get a good seat. Time’s running out! Come join the fun! There’s still time to enter to win a YEAR’S WORTH OF TUITION and tons of awesome prizes before Campus Kick-off Week ends with a bang!

PANTHERFEST IS ON, LUPE FIASCO’S ON DECK!

PANTHERFEST’s doors are officially open and the countdown to Lupe Fiasco and Girl Talk is on!

The Euro Bungee is bouncing, the slide is inflated (yes! inflated) and our awesome musical acts are warming up. The Student Association and the Panther basketball teams are giving out tons of free swag and Pounce the Panther mascot brought his dancing shoes so while the night gets cooler, Pantherfest just gets hotter!

Come check it out at the Henry Mair Summerfest Grounds on the lakefront. Time’s running out for preferred seating!

Get ready for PantherFest 2011!

PANTHERFEST 2010 is History!

Well, I can’t think of a better way to ring in the new school year! PANTHERFEST 2010 was a HUGE success. The performances by Shiny Toy Guns and KiD CuDi were unforgettable. We’d like to thank everybody for coming out, and a special thanks to all the sponsors, vendors, staff, and volunteers that made this celebration possible.

Have a great year, UWM!

On behalf of all the bloggers for Campus KickOff, thank you for being a part of this awesome celebration!
