Green Key Concert Info

PB's Green Key concert will take place on Gold Coast Lawn on Friday, May 15, 2026.

When the gates open at 7pm, we'll kick things off with Battle of the Bands winner, Avalanche, followed by a DJ set from Philip Ernst b2b Ufuk Sahmeran as we prepare the stage for our first guest artist.

Taking the stage first will be MKTO. MKTO is an American pop and hip hop duo consisting of Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller, who met while filming the Nickelodeon series Gigantic. The name MKTO comes from their combined initials — MK for Malcolm Kelley and TO for Tony Oller. Signed to Columbia Records, the duo broke through with "Classic," which went double platinum and peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their self-titled debut album reached #1 in Australia and charted in multiple countries, featuring a guest appearance from R&B artist Ne-Yo. They have also toured with Demi Lovato and appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Good Morning America, and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Headlining and closing the concert will be GROUPLOVE. Grouplove is an American alternative rock band consisting of Christian Zucconi (vocals, guitar), Hannah Hooper (vocals, keyboards), Andrew Wessen (lead guitar), and Ryan Rabin (drums). They have performed at major festivals including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Reading and Leeds, and Glastonbury. Their breakthrough single "Tongue Tied" hit number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, earned quintuple platinum certification from the RIAA, and was been featured in an Apple iPod Touch commercial, a Coca-Cola ad, Fox's Glee, and the films Blended and Project Almanac. Across six studio albums, the band has built a catalog of festival-ready anthems that has earned them a devoted global following.

 **PLEASE NOTE: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR GUESTS AND THEIR BEHAVIOR.**

ALL GUESTS MUST BE REGISTERED IN ADVANCE - THERE IS NO REGISTRATION FOR GUESTS ON THE DAY OF THE CONCERT.

These wristbands grant you access to the May 15th concert on Gold Coast Lawn. Our advice is to immediately put on your wristband when you receive or retrieve it. It's awfully hard to lose something that is secured to your wrist* 

*PLEASE NOTE: There will be no replacement undergraduate wristbands available on the day prior to or day of the concert (5/14 & 5/15) - we will be focused on the details of the concert and our artists, not finding you a replacement wristband.  We apologize for the tough love, but this is why we suggest you simply put your wristband on immediately.

HOW TO GET YOUR WRISTBAND:

• ON TERM STUDENTS (currently enrolled in classes in Hanover) and OFF TERM STUDENTS who are IN HANOVER: Programming Board will be tabling at Collis to distribute wristbands Sunday 5/10-Thursday 5/14 - see hours above. You must come during one of these times with your student ID to pick up your wristband and any guest wristbands you may have purchased. 
• FSP/LSA/OFF TERM STUDENTS who are OFF CAMPUS:  Please log into Dartmouth Groups and RSVP for the concert. There will be very limited hours for you only on Friday 5/15 afternoon between 3-5pm to pick up your wristband. If you are concerned that you will not arrive in time to pick it up, when you RSVP, you will have the option to identify a proxy who is authorized to pick up your wristband for you.
• GRADUATE STUDENTS (includes B.E. students): We didn't forget about you! If you are planning on attending the concert, please log into Dartmouth Groups and RSVP for the concert, and we will have wristbands available for you to pick up during wristband tabling.

Since the first Green Key Concert in 2013, the Town of Hanover has increasingly expressed concerns about concert security, crowd behavior, and pressure on emergency services. In 2017, the Town stipulated that in order to ensure that the concert continues in a safe and sustainable way, there must be a physical enclosure around the concert grounds and a method of ensuring that those attending are members of the Dartmouth community and their guests ONLY.

In short, we continue to observe these security measures to improve safety and ensure the future of the Green Key Concert for all Dartmouth students.
