Wildcats are gearing up for the big event this spring semester: Wildstock, the free music festival open to Linfield students.
The annual event will take place on Friday, May 11 on the IM field.

The doors will open at 5 p.m., where there will be a beer garden for students over 21, a mechanical bull, corn hole, horse shoes, and food trucks. Clubs and other activities on campus will also have booths set up.

Stop by Fred Meyer Lounge the day before Wildstock, May 10, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to buy a t-shirt for Wildstock and be adorned with free henna.
The opening act, Frank Ray, will perform at 7 p.m. and the headlining performers, Dan + Shay, will start at 8 p.m.

Ray was named one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know: December 2017.”

He is a former police officer who left the job after 10 years to pursue country music full time, according to his Facebook biography.
His debut solo EP “Different Kind of Country” was released in 2017.

Dan + Shay, a country duo comprised of singer/songwriters Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, released their debut single “19 You + Me” in 2013, which led to their first album, “Where it all Began,” in 2014.

They had a song featured in the show “Nashville” and appeared on the reality competition show “The Bachelorette” in 2016.
