Green Key Concert Info

PB's Green Key concert will take place on Gold Coast Lawn on Friday, May 16, 2025.

When the gates open at 7pm, we'll kick things off with Battle of the Bands winner, Read Receipts, followed by a set from DJ Sid as we prepare the stage for our first guest artist.

Taking the stage first will be Jay Sean. Jay Sean is one of the first British artists to reach the Billboard Hot 100 since Freddie Mercury in 1980 and was the first solo Asian artist to achieve this. "Down," "Do You Remember" and "Ride It" are some of his most well-known highlights. Not only did Jay Sean do well on both of our surveys, but we are sure that he is going to be an amazing artist for Green Key. 

Headline and closing the concert will be FERG. With multiple successful singles, six studio albums, and collaborations with many other artists such as Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Tyga, and Elle Fanning, we know that he will bring great energy and plenty of hits that students love. He is a former member of the A$AP mob and a childhood friend of former GK artist A$AP Rocky. He has also composed for movies such as The End of Seventeen (2016), Game Over Man! (2018) and Ghostbusters (2016). 

Access to the concert grounds will be controlled and restricted to individuals with a valid Green Key concert wristband. Entrances will open at 7:00pm. 

Access to the 2025 Green Key Concert will be restricted to current Dartmouth students and their registered guests.

In order to enter the Green Key Concert grounds, you will need to present your Green Key Concert Wristband to the folks staffing the entrances. Individuals with a green student wristband will ALSO need to show their Dartmouth ID to enter. If you leave, you will need to display your wristband and ID again to re-enter.

Entry Gates will be located (1) on Tuck Drive between Hitchcock and Russell Sage and (2) between Fahey-McLane and Butterfield. The gate between Fahey and Butterfield will close at 8:00pm and all entry after that point must occur through the Tuck Drive entrance.

All distribution hours will be on Collis Porch if the weather is nice, or in Sarner lobby if it is not.

 **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 (5/15 & 5/16) - 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 5/11-Thursday 5/15 - see hours below. 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 5/16 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.
