We asked him to come perform on this campus, and not to shout chants and rile up the audience. “What we expected wasn’t what we received. “YG’s performance last year obviously was not up to our standards,” Kinel said.

For example, ASUN applied a more scrutinous vetting process in picking their performers. Vendors included Reno as F-, Rawbry and Tahoe Nevada Love.Ī few changes were made from last year. Food trucks included Jus, Stix & Strips, Nom Eats, Lazy Sundae and Bam!Dog. Other attractions included food trucks, vendors, a rock wall, an inflatable obstacle course, a slide, corn hole and a “Before I die…” wall. ASUN accepted submissions online and chose their favorites.

Two stages stood on opposite ends: the main stage and the ASUN stage.įour local artists performed on the ASUN stage: Treazy, Such is Life, Apollo and the Dead Beat, all UNR students. The BLF grounds stretched over the UNR intramural field and the adjacent parking lot. Then with our whole budget, the president allocates the money to all the branches and departments of ASUN.”ĪSUN did not make a profit off of ticket sales, but that was expected. “Every credit that a student takes, students pay $5 to. “We have a tax-based budget,” said assistant director of budget and finance in the ASUN department of programming Kyle Feng. How much each artist cost is yet to be disclosed, but total artist expenses came to approximately $103,000. BLF’s budget was $210,000, but ASUN ended up coming under budget, spending roughly $200,000. ASUN sold around 4,400-4,500 tickets, about 2,000 less than last year. Tickets cost $25 ahead of time and $50 the day of. So I thought the festival setting would be the best way to introduce the student population.” So my two strongest headliners were A$AP Ferg and Snakehips because they were of the EDM and rap genre, then The Mowgli’s, Phoebe Ryan and Coast Modern are new genres that we haven’t had in concert yet. Alternative has not been a genre that this campus has seen. “When getting into this position I vowed to myself I would bring new things to this campus. “Last year the lineup was extremely EDM heavy,” said ASUN director of Programming Mia Kinel. The performances on the main stage represented a wide array of genres: Coast Modern brought indie pop, Phoebe Ryan brought electro-pop, The Mowgli’s brought alternative rock, Snakehips brought EDM and A$AP Ferg brought hip-hop. Phoebe Ryan and Coast Modern also performed. The headliners were A$AP Ferg, Snakehips and The Mowgli’s. The second annual Biggest Little Festival, hosted by the Associated Students of the University of Nevada, took place on Saturday, Sept.
