Over the years, the VCU campus has been a popular concert venue for up-and-coming artists.

The Shafer Court Stage was used for weekly rock concerts, protests, lectures, and art shows from 1960 until its demolition in 2002. It has since been turned into the Shafer Court Dining Center we all know and love.
