With Spring Weekend 2025 quickly approaching, Brown students have eagerly been planning out their Saturdays, streaming performers’ discographies and meticulously curating the perfect outfit for the event. 

In addition to performances from Offset, JT, Zack Fox, Ravyn Lenae and the Undertow Brass Band, the weekend is also full of other festivities. Here’s what you can expect at Spring Weekend 2025.

On Saturday, fans can anticipate a bold, atmospheric performance from headlining-act Offset, an American rapper, singer and songwriter best known for hits like “Bad and Boujee” and “Walk It Talk It” from his time as a member of the Atlanta-based trio Migos.

Concertgoers will also see the Miami-based rapper and singer-songwriter, JT, who began her lucrative solo career in 2023. Her debut song as a solo artist, “No Bars,” placed 25th on Billboard’s “Bubbling Under Hot 100” chart. She later released “Sideways” which shot up to No. 7 on the chart.

JT has been featured on records with Summer Walker, Nicki Minaj and Kali Uchis. She also released her debut album “City Cinderella” in 2024, which included the viral TikTok song “Alter Ego” featuring Doechii — a 2023 Spring Weekend performer.

Zack Fox, a comedian, rapper and “Abbott Elementary” actor, also promises an entertaining act. In 2019, his comedic song “Jesus is the One (I Have Depression)” — which now has over 50 million Spotify streams — quickly rose to internet fame. 

Fox continued his rap career in 2021 when he released his debut album, “shut the fuck up talking to me.”

Ravyn Lenae has also experienced her fair share of fame. In 2024, the R&B singer-songwriter released lead singles “Love Me Not,” which breached Billboard’s Hot 100 list, and “Love is Blind,” both from her second album, “Bird’s Eye.” She has also collaborated with Steve Lacy on “Skin Tight,” Ty Dolla $ign on “Dream Girl” and Childish Gambino on “One Wish.” Her dreamy vocals and catchy melodies, which earned her an appearance at this year’s Coachella, are sure to leave a lasting impression at this year’s festival. 

But the weekend’s festivities aren’t confined to these four acts. On Friday evening, the Class Coordinating Board will be hosting the annual “Gigs on the Green,” a student-performed music festival featuring 10 different bands and artists. 

This talented, multi-genre list of performers has something for everyone, from the haunting lyricism of “Island Rovers” to the traditional Mexican music of “Mariachi Ositos de Brown.” 

Other Friday festivities include a RecFest BBQ, a carnival on Ruth J. Simmons Quad, SoBear’s Sub-Free Movie Night and the Brown Arab Society’s Arab’s Got Talent. 

On Saturday, Spring Weekenders can look forward to afternoon concerts with the “Spring Weekend Prep Party” on Wriston Quad.

Doors to the Main Green concert will open Saturday at 1 p.m. In a recent email to undergraduates, the Brown Concert Agency and other campus organizations outlined several guidelines for the festival, encouraging students to “stay with friends,” “avoid pushing and shoving,” “stay hydrated” and more.

The message also reminded concertgoers to bring their Brown ID, which will serve as their ticket for attending the show, breaking from previous years when students had to secure tickets themselves.
