Last weekend, Extravaganza headliner Dominic Fike shocked the audience by doing a surprise performance of his original song from “Euphoria” season two during his set.

When the Associated Students Program Board (ASPB) announced that Fike would be playing at Extravaganza, students were excited and thought that he would be performing hits from his own albums. So, when Fike abruptly stopped everything to grab an acoustic guitar from backstage, everyone was thinking he would debut a new song. 

“I’m a huge fan. I’ve gone to his concerts before so this was totally unexpected. I was excited to hear a new tune,” first-year music composition major Nathaniel James said. “When he started singing, I was immediately disappointed. This song is terrible and such a shitstain on his discography.”

Students had a great time and were attentive during this performance. All the singing and dancing stopped as Fike sang.

“It was an instant crowd killer. I thought that ASPB finally got a good headliner for my last year, but of course they didn’t. This was lame,” expressed Julie Valentine, a fourth-year communication major.

When Fike first performed this song in the season two finale of “Euphoria,” it was an immediate classic. Many fans raved about its length and purpose in the show, and years later it continues to be considered one of the most iconic parts of the season.

Third-year biochemistry major Ruby Gomez added onto this praise saying, “I thought I would never have to hear that fuckass song ever again after sitting through it for FIVE minutes while watching “Euphoria.” That song was pointless in the show and there was no reason for him to play an hour-long extended version of it at Extravaganza!”

By the end, students were so tired from the excitement and enjoyment of Fike’s performance that they were taking light naps at the barricade. When he finished the song, the audience was yelling phrases of praise like “Thank God, it’s finally over,” and “That song was ass!”

There were many highlights at this year’s Extravaganza, but Dominic Fike’s surprise performance is one for the ages!
