One of the greatest memories in college was the Annual SunGod Festival. Apparently it was even better and “uncaged” decades before I even attended UCSD. And now, since leaving the school in 2012, it’s gotten even worse, being delegated to a Sunday and being much more strict in nature.
Still, I think we enjoyed SunGod when it was still at its peak in the 4 years I was in college, with the following main acts:
2009: Augustana, Sara Bareilles, N.E.R.D
2010: Drake, Michelle Branch, Relient K, B.O.B.
2011: Mike Posner, Jimmy Eat World, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa
2012: Silversun Pickups, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
From my recollection I enjoyed 2010 and 2011’s lineup the most, providing enough variety so that everyoen could enjoy it (rap, pop, rock, etc.).
Sadly, somebody died from SunGod in 2014, resulting in a serious change in the way the concert is allowed to operate on campus. At least I’ll always have the fun memories in place in my head from 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 from previous blog posts.
