I have been to over 20! Even during my first semester of college, I was able to catch a few concerts. There&#8217;s a venue about an hour from Iowa City in Moline, Illinois, where I saw Dierks Bentley for only $2! I also saw one of my favorite artists, Quinn XCII in La Crosse, Wisconsin back in October. One thing that I found super cool about U Iowa is they do a homecoming concert every year! I wasn&#8217;t able to go this year, but I am super excited for when they announce who&#8217;s playing next year. In 2018, Lizzo was the headliner, which is so cool. In 2013, they had Kendrick Lamar at the IMU. I&#8217;m hoping for a big name for 2025!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-90 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.26\u202fAM.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"231\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.26\u202fAM-231x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"photo of concert state 1\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-92\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.26\u202fAM-231x300.png 231w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.26\u202fAM-788x1024.png 788w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.26\u202fAM-768x998.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.26\u202fAM-300x390.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.26\u202fAM.png 923w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-92'>\n\t\t\t\tMy $2 tickets to Dierks Bently\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.53\u202fAM.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"241\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.53\u202fAM-241x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"photo of concert 2\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-91\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.53\u202fAM-241x300.png 241w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.53\u202fAM-821x1024.png 821w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.53\u202fAM-768x958.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.53\u202fAM-300x374.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/ava\/files\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-27-at-11.28.53\u202fAM.png 962w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-91'>\n\t\t\t\tQuinn XCII\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have ever talked to me, you know my favorite thing in the entire world is concerts.
