Review: With co-headliners Calvin Harris and Childish Gambino each delivering sets infused with unmatchable energy, 8,500 fans were left with no option other than to dance their Sunday away.

Heavy bass, feverish dancing, and a crowd dressed in neon, paired with barely-there outfits and body glitter doesn’t sound like a typical Sunday afternoon; but this year’s Juice Jam was a high-energy, nonstop dance party that’s sure to go down in SU history.

Headliners Calvin Harris and Childish Gambino did not disappoint the massive crowd at what University Union Concert Director Ken Consor said was the most successful show in the concert’s nine-year run.

Concertgoers erupted when Consor said to them, "I want you to know that you are a part of the biggest Juice Jam ever."

Fans of hip-hop and electronic music will get more than their fair share of each on Sunday at Skytop Field.

Juice Jam 2012—the first Juice Jam to ever sell out—will take place at Skytop Field this Sunday.

University Union stepped up their game with one of the biggest names in electronic music, Calvin Harris, and comedian turned rapper, Childish Gambino, as this year's co-headliners. The rising hip-hop trio from Boston, The Dean’s List, will support the two.

Review: The Dean's List and OnCue light up Westcott Theater with live-band hip-hop

The Pledge to Rage tour hit Syracuse on Thursday with acts The Dean’s List and OnCue in what appears to be a niche subset of rap music. Call it the Asher Roth-effect, but everyone at this concert happened to be male, white and high school or college-aged. Of the handful of girls there, most were being toted in by their guy friends. The whole theater seemed to be filled with graphic tees, hoodies and fitted caps, worn even by the performers.

And the performers went hard. The main acts didn’t go on until about 11 p.m., which meant three hours of opening acts.
