Saturday’s Springfest concert grabbed the spot as Best Show on Campus with a landslide 38 percent of votes, most of which were cast before Nelly, Jack’s Mannequin and Passion Pit arrived on campus.

After the “other” category, which received 30 percent of the votes, the second most votes were awarded to the performance by pop band Fountains of Wayne, which secured 8 percent of the vote.  The Foxy Shazam show and the Brian Fallon and Matt Pryor concert tied for the third place position, both with 6 percent of the vote.

Springfest featured musical acts spanning rock, electronic and rap genres. The night began with the four piece rock band Jack’s Mannequin, who led the crowd in several songs including the popular 2005 song “Dark Blue.”

The performance was followed by the group Passion Pit, which complemented their musical staging with a colorful lights show and performed a new, unreleased song for the audience. Lead singer Michael Angelakos announced that the group was excited to be performing back in Boston, where the members met while attending Berklee College of Music and Emerson College.

“I’d heard of them before but never seen them,” freshman international affairs major Tamani Jayasinghe said. “They were my favorite act.”

Grammy Award-winning artist Nelly topped the night off by bringing the crowd to its feet with renditions of several of his hits, including ‘“Hot in Herre” and “Dilemma.” He brought three girls from the audience to dance on stage with him and advised students to “hang in there” and have persistence.

“Nelly exceeded my expectations,” Jayasinghe said. “He definitely brought the party to Springfest.”

Samantha Morrill, a freshman chemistry major, said she thought the night was an overall success.

“Everyone seemed really into the music,” Morrill said. “They were definitely having a good time.”
