CLEMSON, SC - Clemson will host two days of music, sports and fun with the Solid Orange Live festival on the lawn surrounding Littlejohn Coliseum, April 11-12. The two-day event will feature a midway of carnival games and rides – including a 60-foot Ferris wheel – as well as concerts, food, merchandise from area vendors and more.

The festival adds to the excitement and fun of an already busy weekend at Clemson, with the annual spring football game Saturday, April 12, a home baseball series against UNC, a women’s tennis match against Maryland and the Solid Orange Classic outdoor track and field meet.

The main draw of the festival will be the music, which ranges from rock to pop to reggae to urban to country. Friday’s lineup includes performances from 1980s pop star Eddie Money; reggae band The Wailers, best known for their work with the legendary Bob Marley; and hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean.

Saturday will feature country star Rodney Atkins along with pop star Colbie Caillat, song writer Jason Reeves and Athens rock band The Whigs. Local favorites will be added to the schedule following a “battle of the bands” competition.
