UCSB Extravaganza 1980-2010:
 

 UCSB Extravaganza Music Festival has seen some pretty mindblowing acts over the past few years. In anticipation of this year’s extravaganza, we bring you a list of some our favorite performances:

Ludacris:

Last year Ludacris gave the ultimate performance, turning white frat bros everywhere into an organized choir of, "Move bitch get out the way!" Also - who's that random guy on the left trying to hang with Luda?

 

 Nas:

In 2008, Nas electrified Harder Stadium with hits like . . . er, I'm not exactly sure (I'm not as ganster as I seem). But Mr. Nas, I did think you should know, you seem to have accidentally placed your hat upon your head in a crooked fasion - just thought you should know. .

 
Black Eyed Peas:
 
 
Sublime:
 

In 1995, AS Program Board brought in one band to tattoo Extravaganza as perpetually awesome. Sublime. That's right in 1995, one of the most influential bands of all time graced Harder Stadium.

 
Steppenwolf:
 

If I could see any extravaganza performance ever, I’d trek all the back to 1980 to see headliner Steppenwolf. What better way to end the year than rocking out on a mindblowingly psychadellic magic carpet ride?

 

 No Doubt:

Between the late 80's and early 90's, there was enough crappy music at extravaganza to fill the album collections of every staff worker at the Daily Nexus. But in 1991, there was one standout. No freaking Doubt. In 1991, No Doubt put on the most energetic performance Harder Stadium ever has and ever will see. I remember being there, 3 months old, raging in the front row - that's when Gwen and I first fell in love . . .
