Popular artist Girl Talk will be the featured performer at this year’s ’80s-themed Fall Fest, Program Board announced Tuesday.

Known for mixing as many as a dozen different samples in his songs, Girl Talk, whose real name is Gregg Gillis, has released five albums in the last nine years. In the past, he gained notoriety for his on-stage antics, as well as his habit of sampling songs without the artists’ permission.

The annual concert and event will begin at 4 p.m. on Sept. 4 in University Yard.

Girl Talk is a District favorite, playing two shows the 9:30 Club this year and joining up with numerous artists for the May 1 Sweetlife Festival.

Opening for Girl Talk will be OCD: Moosh & Twist, an Philadelphia-based band that dropped its first album “The Welcome Mat”earlier this year.

Girl Talk was scheduled to headline the annual event in 2008 but the University made a last-minute switch only days before the show because of contract disagreements.

Tim Miller, then-executive director of the Student Activities Center, said at the time that the University backed out of negotiations over the $15,000 contract with Girl Talk largely due to the artist’s request that barricades would not be used to prevent audience members from joining him on stage.

The “Back to the ’80s” Fall Fest will feature three lane Bungee runs, gladiator jousting, free food and giveaways.
