Fairmont State University Invites Community to Fall Concert Featuring Multi-Platinum Band Echosmith

Fairmont State University is thrilled to announce that Echosmith, the multi-platinum alt-pop trio best known for their smash hit “Cool Kids,” will headline the Fall Concert on Friday, Sept. 19. The event begins at 7 p.m., with Echosmith premiering at 8 p.m. The concert will be held outdoors on the Falcon Center Quad, with a special VIP Meet & Greet prior to the show. 

The event is free and open to the public. No tickets are required. Guests can enjoy cash concessions and a cash bar featuring beer, wine, and seltzers for those 21 and older with valid ID. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will take place in Falcon Center Gym 1. A decision to move indoors will be announced 72 hours prior to the show.  

“Hosting a nationally recognized band like Echosmith is another opportunity to bring our campus and community together,” said President Mike Davis. “At Fairmont State, we strive to create memorable experiences that enrich student life, celebrate the arts, and showcase the vibrancy of our university. The Fall Concert reflects the spirit, energy, and sense of belonging that defines the Falcon experience, and we are thrilled to invite the entire region to celebrate with us.” 

Echosmith—siblings Sydney, Noah, and Graham Sierota—first rose to stardom with their 4X platinum hit "Cool Kids" and the double-platinum single "Bright," cementing their place in both pop music and culture. Over the past decade, the Southern California trio has earned more than 1 billion streams worldwide, released three acclaimed albums (one being their most recent self-titled album in 2023), and toured with artists such as twenty one pilots, Pentatonix, and Owl City. Their collaborations span household names like Steve Aoki, Zedd, For King & Country, and Taylor Swift. 

Known for their uplifting, honest songwriting, the band has recently embraced a fresh, DIY-driven sound, highlighted by their latest singles "Jaded" and "Feminine Rage." With music that blends shimmering pop, heartfelt lyrics, and infectious energy, Echosmith continues to connect deeply with fans around the globe. 

“Fairmont State is proud to host Echosmith for this year’s Fall Concert,” said Dr. Janna Bredeson, Vice President of Student Affairs. “This event is a celebration of community and campus spirit, and we are excited to welcome students, alumni, and neighbors from across the region for an unforgettable evening of music and connection.”
