In the everlasting words of Rihanna, “The wait is over, the wait is over.”

As Penn State football returns with a road matchup against Indiana on Saturday, we’ll need to celebrate gamedays differently this time around. Unfortunately, that means we won’t be tailgating outside of Beaver Stadium. Instead, we’ll be tailgating at home – or virtually.

Regardless of where we are, a tailgate isn’t complete without some get-hype jams in the background. Naturally, we put together a two-hour playlist for your use before, during, or after the game.

From football-friendly songs like The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” to TikTok anthems like Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” you’ll hopefully feel like you’re back at Beaver Stadium with 107,000 of your best friends. Happy tailgating!
