Eaglepalooza

Eaglepalooza is a play on the concert festival Lalapalooza. It is put on by the Southern Miss Student Government Association every year in association with local businesses and other campus organizations. The goal of Eaglepalooza is to bring nationally known MusicAL acts to the campus of Southern Miss. Past performers have included Dashboard Confessional, Gavin DeGraw, Sister Hazel, Train, Better Than Ezra, Mýa and Pat Green. 2006's performance was originally slated to feature Sister Hazel and Chingy. Chingy cancelled the engagement mere months before it was to take place. Mýa was chosen as his replacement. The 2007 Eaglepalooza featured R&B artist Eve (rapper) and Robert Randolph and the Family Band, and in 2008 the festival will feature Mute Math and David Barnes, among others. The concert has become a staple at Southern Miss and is used to bring together the local community and the students of USM.
