MidWest Friends Fest taps some of the most dynamic local emo, punk, and rock bands and musicians to throw one big party celebrating the diversity of sound and the unparalleled passion of the people making such great music.
“The idea for MidWest Friends Fest is pretty simple - we wanted to bring bands that we really like to the area, some of them for the first time, and let them meet, hear, and get to know some of our favorite bands and musicians in the city, and, really, get to know the city itself,” says Jared Bowers, one of the fest’s founders. “This one’s all about connection - making connections and keeping them going - so that we can continue to see the Cincy/NKY scene flourish and grow.”
In 2025, MidWest Friends Fest is expanding to two days at The Southgate House Revival on May 30th and May 31st! Does your band want to join in the fun? Are you a solo artist that wants to play?
