The Cornell Concert Commission previously scheduled a show for October 17, where the DJ duo Between Friends would perform. Stereogum tells us “The duo of siblings Brandon and Savannah Hudson have gained a lot of streaming popularity since competing on America’s Got Talent in 2013.” Due to an ongoing investigation into alleged sexual misconduct, The Cornell Concert Commission issued an official cancellation statement saying “We are deeply sorry to share that the Homecoming Concert with Between Friends has been canceled…The Cornell Concert Commission is a student-run organization and, as students, we stand with Jane Doe and all survivors of sexual violence.”

An anonymous Jane Doe recently sued Cornell with claims that she was sexually assaulted by multiple people at a fraternity party in 2024. Jane Doe’s report to the police resulted in the expulsion of two students, although the other alleged participants did not face such repercussions.
