Last week, the headliner of Old Main Music Festival (OMMF) was announced, raising excitement for the biggest event that Mississippi State’s Music Maker Productions puts on every spring semester. This year’s artist is Briston Maroney, an indie rock artist that has over 2.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify and over 137 thousand followers on Instagram..
The annual Old Main Music Festival returned April 20 at the Mississippi State University Amphitheater. The festival was run by MSU s Music Makers Productions organization.
Mississippi State is hosting a variety of Unity Month programs throughout April, exploring the dynamics of diversity and inclusion while celebrating the many cultures and heritages represented at the university.
On April 10, Mississippi State University s Music Maker Productions (MMP) hosted the Old Main Music Festival. The festival, usually hosted at Old Main Amphitheater, was planned to be at the Swamp Parking Lot. Due to inclement weather, it ended up being moved to Bettersworth Auditorium in Lee Hall.
Students scrambled to reserve tickets to attend the concert as there was a limited amount of passes. The concert was free to attend. Originally, it was meant to be a drive-in concert due to COVID-19 restrictions. All 220 car passes sold out within a few days, and attendance was still high even when the event was moved.
