{{Short description| Annual concert event}} '''Walk In Lay Down''' (commonly referred to as '''WILD'''<ref>[http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/Walk+In,+Lay+Down+(Washington+University,+St.+Louis+concert) Definition of Walk In, Lay Down]</ref>) is an annual concert event held at Washington University in St. Louis and has been a campus tradition since its inception in 1978. WILD, produced by the WUSTL Social Programming Board, is sponsored by the Washington University Student Union and is the largest student-run event at the university.<ref>[http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/usnews/edu/college/directory/brief/drlife_2520_brief.php The WUSTL page on USNews college rankings]. WILD is mentioned under "Most popular cultural and campus events".</ref> WILD is free to university undergraduate students and has rooted itself in the campus culture as an exciting time of the semester for students of the university to get together and celebrate free live music, food, and friends.
==History== WILD was first held in 1978 and was originally presented as a movie screening event. Around the 1980s, the event then expanded to incorporate musical acts to accompany the movies. By the early 1990s, the movies were dropped altogether and WILD became the music festival that it is now.<ref>{{cite web|title=#tbt: A WILD history|date=23 October 2014 |url=http://www.studlife.com/readallover/tbt-a-wild-history/|publisher=Student Life|access-date=25 June 2016}}</ref> In 2013, production of WILD was passed on from student group Team 31 Productions to the WUSTL Social Programming Board.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Early |first=Rosalind |date=2018-08-06 |title=WILD streak: 45 years of 'Walk In, Lay Down' - The Source - Washington University in St. Louis |url=https://source.wustl.edu/2018/08/wild-streak-45-years-of-walking-in-laying-down/ |access-date=2022-09-27 |website=The Source |language=en-US}}</ref>
WILD was built on a history of Washington University hosting great music including Ray Charles (1959), The Righteous Brothers (1966), The Temptations (1966), the Kingsmen, Simon and Garfunkel (1967) the Loving Spoonful (1967), the Yardbirds (1967), the Grateful Dead (1969),<ref>{{Cite web |title=Apr 17, 1969: Grateful Dead at Washington University St Louis, Missouri, United States {{!}} Concert Archives |url=https://www.concertarchives.org/concerts/grateful-dead-1b02dc5e-a06f-4605-94f6-4f98f8dc88d1 |access-date=2022-09-27 |website=www.concertarchives.org}}</ref> the Velvet Underground (1969), Jethro Tull (1970), Sly and the Family Stone (1973), Frank Zappa (1977), the Replacements (1987),<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sep 17, 1987: The Replacements at Washington University Athletic Complex St Louis, Missouri, United States {{!}} Concert Archives |url=https://www.concertarchives.org/concerts/the-replacements-ce2e967b-41a6-4f58-adde-5217d50626ef |access-date=2022-09-27 |website=www.concertarchives.org}}</ref> BB King (1987).<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |last=Rhea |first=Ryan |date=2013-10-01 |title=Live at Wash.

The event is named for an old tradition in which students would bring sofas into the quad and lie on them while watching the performances. Although this tradition is no longer allowed, in Fall 2007 the university permitted inflatable couches to be allowed in the quad during the concert in an attempt to revive the tradition.<ref name="studlifecouch">[http://media.www.studlife.com/media/storage/paper337/news/2007/09/28/News/New-Wild.Policies.Cause.Mixed.Reactions-2999025.shtml?xmlsyn=1 Student Life - New WILD policies cause mixed reactions]</ref> ''Student Life'', the university's newspaper, has published an op-ed pointing out that the name is not grammatically correct.<ref>{{cite web|title=How to get properly laid at W.I.L.D.: A grammatical guide|date=11 October 2012 |url=http://www.studlife.com/forum/2012/10/11/how-to-get-properly-laid-at-w-i-l-d-a-grammatical-guide/}}</ref>
Due to the university hosting the second 2016 presidential candidate debate on October 9, Fall WILD 2016 was cancelled for the first time in 30 years.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fall WILD likely canceled due to debate logistics|date=February 2016 |url=http://www.studlife.com/news/2016/02/01/fall-wild-likely-canceled-due-to-debate-logistics/|publisher=Student Life|access-date=25 June 2016}}</ref>
In 2017, an "alternative WILD" was staged in protest of the headliner act, Lil Dicky.

T-Pain was meant to headline Spring WILD 2019 but pulled out at the last minute due to a mandatory vocal rest. Roy Woods was booked as last minute as an additional performer as Loud Luxury was bumped to headliner. Elley Duhé was also meant to perform, but had to cancel.<ref>{{cite web|title=T-Pain drops out of spring WILD lineup|date=25 April 2019 |url=http://www.studlife.com/news/2019/04/25/t-pain-drops-out-of-spring-wild-lineup/|publisher=Student Life}}</ref>
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020, the university suspended in-person classes, requiring students to remain home for the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester, causing Spring WILD 2020 to be cancelled. Subsequent WILD events were also cancelled before finally returning to campus in Spring 2022 with headliner Zedd.<ref>{{Cite web |title=WashU Admissions on Instagram: "WILD is back!
