West Lafayette and Purdue Campus Scene

\***WIP***

<h2>c. 2020 - 2024</h2>
<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>As pandemic lockdowns eased up, the house show scene organized by Purdue student bands became especially active in West Lafayette, peaking especially from 2022 into the spring and summer of 2024. Shows were concentrated mostly in the Vine St. area and other residential streets branching off of it. Basements, living rooms, and backyards of residential homes were the most common venue, however, the scene gained enough traction to also organize Purdue-sanctioned concerts on campus properties such as Fowler Hall, the Purdue Memorial Union, and Slayter Hill.</p>

By the end of the 2024 - 2025 Purdue academic year, a house-based venue known as "The Nest" had arguably become one of the most prominent and well-known locations of the scene. As it grew larger, The Nest organizers encountered mounting obstacles through community noise complaints and threats of eviction from the landlord. The organizers have since incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and begun a project to relocate into a new, [https://thenest207.live/ permanent venue] in West Lafayette.<ref>[https://www.purdueexponent.org/city_state/features/venue-forced-to-relocate-after-being-shut-down/article_9c646d14-94dd-4a70-86f9-6839297a9c90.html Local music venue forced to relocate after being shut down back-to-back years, The Exponent]</ref><ref>[https://www.purdueexponent.org/city_state/general_news/the-nest-music-venue-comeback/article_d5f66ab6-cc9a-46cc-8dd3-e30efbf698f1.html Local music venue plans permanent comeback after facing near-extinction, The Exponent]</ref>
