WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – “STOMP” comes to Elliott Hall of Music on the Purdue University campus for an 8 p.m. performance on Feb. 22. 

The performance is presented by Purdue Convocations with support from Purdue University Dining and Catering.

Explosive, inventive, provocative, witty, utterly unique,“STOMP” is an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. This international percussion sensation has garnered armfuls of awards, rave reviews and appearances on numerous national TV shows. An eight-member troupe uses everything but traditional percussion instruments to enjoyably crash, bag, and boom — filling the room with magnificent rhythms using matchboxes, poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps and more.   

Tickets for students cost $22-$35; while general public tickets cost $25-$45. 

Tickets are available at the Stewart Center box office at 765-494-3933 or 800-914-SHOW. Group tickets are also available to groups of 10 more. Call 765-494-3933 for more details or visit https://purdue.edu/convocations/group-sales/.
