In Concert

Listen to the Music

Picture it: A collection of guitars, amps and microphones dot a stage. The venue is standing room only, filled to the brim with cheering fans. It’s concert time.

FDU has a long legacy of inviting popular bands and performers to campus — including the likes of Billy Joel, Frank Zappa, Sly and the Family Stone, Patty Smyth, The Temptations, Ravi Shankar and The Beach Boys.

Step back in time, and enjoy the show.
