[Photo Story] WALK THE MOON Shuts Up & Dances At THON 2024

Pop rock band WALK THE MOON took the stage Friday night of THON 2024 as the surprise guest performer.

Lead singer Nicholas Petricca stepped on stage to sing a solo a cappella cover of “Lean On Me” before bringing out the rest of the band.

The band impressed the THON crowd with guitar solos, dance moves, and a wide range of vocals.

Dancers and spectators alike were grooving to the songs, which included “One Foot” and “Lost In The Wild.”

The crowd went absolutely insane for the band’s 2015 hit “Shut Up and Dance.” A pretty fitting song for this weekend, don’t you think?

The band closed with “Anna Sun” and departed from the THON stage after an electrifying performance to kick off THON Weekend.
