Entertainment Council Concerts
SUNSET FEST
Sunset Fest is EC's way of kicking off Fall Quarter with a free concert to welcome the new freshmen to campus. Think of it as your very first quintessential college experience and another way to make friends while listening to your favorite artist. There are games, food, and giveaways that all lead up to the headlining performer! In the Fall of 2022, Remi Wolf headlined the show on the UCD Quad. This year, we had Knock2, Bakar, and Hojean perform to an adoring crowd of 8,000 UCD students!!!
BRAINFREEZE
Entertainment Council is so excited to bring you Brain Freeze! Take a break from finals and chill out with us at our Winter Quarter concert. In Winter of 2023, Raveena headlined the first ever Brain Freeze show at the Mondavi Center. No Vacation then took our breaths away earlier this year as our headliner for Brainfreeze 2024. This year, Luna Li joins us in the exclusive Vanderhoef Studio in the Mondavi Center to give an intimate acoustic performance to students. This is typically a ticketed event to preserve the exclusivity of the performance!
LAWNTOPIA
Lawntopia is EC's way of celebrating Spring Quarter with our largest concert of the year, in the sunny weather! What better way to end the school year then to spend time with friends while listening to your favorite artist? There are games, food, and giveaways that all lead up to the headlining performer! Previous headliners have been Duckwrth, Isaiah Rashad, and most recently Aminé in 2024. Stay tuned for the lineup for Spring 2025, it will be the BIGGEST IT HAS EVER BEEN!!!

OTHER EVENTS
MOVIE SCREENINGS
If you thought that the Entertainment Council was just music, think again! We also put on free movie screenings for students every quarter at the classic Varsity Theatre in downtown Davis, as well as Cruess Hall on campus. For any movie lovers out there, we have brought advanced screenings of some of the most popular movies of the last few years, including A Star is Born, the Justice League, and the Big Sick. Let us know what types of movies you want to see in the future!
OPEN MIC NIGHTS
Open Mic Nights are held in the famous UC Davis Coffee House (aka the Coho) at least once a quarter for students to show off their talent in front of an engaged audience. Acts can range from student bands and stand-up comedy routines to heartfelt poetry readings, and we are always excited to see new unique acts! Anyone can secure a position to participate in advance by emailing productions@ec.ucdavis.edu, or you can sign up at the event, provided there are still time slots available.
