“Unofficial” Duke Reunion Party on the Roof

Duke alums—before you relive the magic of K-ville, the Quad, and Cameron, kick off reunion weekend with a night of live music, skyline views, and great company at the Roof at The Durham! Join in for live music, skyline views, and a crowd of fellow Blue Devils ready to reconnect and reminisce.

This officially “unofficial” gathering is your chance to raise a glass, relive your Duke days, and soak in a night of great music from two bands with deep Duke roots. The Simple Joy and Banana—made up of former Duke Jazz and Rock musicians—have been bringing the funk, jazz, and rock since the early ‘90s, playing everywhere from football games to the 1994 basketball championship party outside Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Live Music Lineup:

🎷 The Simple Joy | 7:00 – 8:15 PM

🎸 Banana | 8:30 – 9:30 PM

What to Expect:

🍸 Classic Cocktails & Durham-Inspired Bites – Sip on handcrafted drinks and snack on shareable plates with a nod to Durham’s vibrant food scene.

🎶 Live Music with Duke Roots – Funk, jazz, and rock sets from fellow Blue Devils who still bring the groove.

🌆 Unmatched Rooftop Views – Take in the Durham skyline and make this reunion weekend one to remember.

No cover—just great music, great company, and a night that feels like stepping back onto campus.
