With the Spring term finally coming to a close, it’s that time of year again to celebrate all of our hard work with the annual Dam Jam end-of-the-year concert. 

This year, the Dam Jam event will be hosted on May 15, 2026. The celebrations will kick off at 3 p.m. in the Memorial Union Quad with an assortment of local vendors and food trucks, and a free group pilates class. Then, the concert will be held at the Student Experience Center Plaza from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. 

Performing on stage will be the openers, Similar Product and Honeydrome, and the special guest headliner, Neon Trees. Following tradition, the two opening acts were chosen during the Battle of the Bands event hosted by KBVR radio and KBVR TV on April 10th. Both bands can be found on Instagram for those who want to check them out before the concert. 

Dam Jam is an OSU-only event, meaning that it is not open to the public. However, it is free of cost for OSU students and staff to attend.
