Taking place on May 17, 2026, The Arcades music festival will showcase the Conrad Prebys Music Center reimagined, presenting over 7 hours of music spanning the entire building. This is definitely an experience that is not one to be missed! The Arcades, an undergraduate collage of music, is a UC San Diego student-led music festival seeking to showcase undergraduate talent. Featuring genres ranging from opera to hardcore metal and everything in between, the inaugural edition of The Arcades is an exciting synthesis of the diversity and talent that UC San Diego's student population has to offer. Organized by a team of undergraduate students, the idea for a student-run festival was initiated by Professor Steven Schick. Programming, administrative matters, live audio and sound, marketing, as well as performances will feature undergraduates at the forefront, providing them with the exciting opportunity to showcase their talents at a world-class institution. The Arcades will spotlight hundreds of talented musicians with many of these performers having their live audience debut at the festival.

But really: when we look back into the dark, what story will we tell? So asks the opening lyric of "Budapest, Budapest," which tells the unknown story of Rudolf Kastner and asks: What is the cost of redemption? What does it mean to be a hero?
