Ross Lynch hypes up the crowd as they headline SpringFest, April 25.
SpringFest 2026 was a hit among students; the Fleming Green was covered in cowboy boots and flower crowns at the concert Saturday, April 25.
Hosted by the UVM Program Board, this year’s event featured more than just the performers. To fit with the 2016 Coachella theme, UPB brought out a Volkswagen photobooth, flower crown supplies, lawn games and hammocks for students to enjoy between sets.
This year’s show started with the student DJ Jacob Namath, followed by the winning band from Battle of the Bands: Swampy Tonk. After the student openers, Between Friends came on, and then wrapped up with the headliner: The Driver Era.
