Roseland Ballroom in New York City hosted thousands of college students for a night of emerging music, unexpected collaborations and beer pong at the fifth-annual "Woodies." New hip hop artist Asher Roth kicked off the night with his anthem I Love College, before crowd-surfing to The Cool Kids' high-energy performance of Delivery Man, culminating in ice-cream sandwiches flying into the crowd. Lykke Li transformed the night with haunting vocals and a surprise collaboration with hip hop icon Q-Tip for Can I Kick It, followed by a medley of Move, Vibrant Thing and Gettin' Up. All Time Low's pop punk performance got the rowdy crowd even more amped up with Dear Maria and Poppin Champagne. Woodie of the Year nominee Santogold's retro 80's chic lit up the night with L.E.S.
