1. It’s is only $40 for Two Days

With so many festivals out there being $200-$400 rate, for this lineup it’s almost a steal! Most of us would spend more than that going out to our local clubs in one weekend. No excuses!

2. It’s Within Three Hours of Five Major Cities

If you live in or near any of the following cities, you are within only three hours of this festival! That’s right. Three hours! You don’t even have to take a Friday or Monday off of work and you’ll still make it in time for the majority of this festival.

  • Minneapolis, MN

  • Lincoln, NE

  • Omaha, NE

  • Kansas City, MO

  • Davenport, IA 

3. The Lineup is Stacked

With headliners like EOTO, The Floozies, and the household name Waka Flock Flame you’re in for a nice mix of experimental livetronica, funk, jam, and hip-hop. EOTO and The Floozies have established themselves as a must see at every festival. But the real bread and butter lies within the heart of the lineup. With artists like the G Jones, Snails, Louis Futon, Bommer, Nostalgia, Manic Focus and more!

4. There Are Five Stages

No matter what kind of music you are in the mood for, there’s a good chance you will find it at one of the five stages. With a tremendous amount of local support from DJ’s, live bands, and hip-hop artists–there’s no doubt you will find the right music taste to fit your needs as well as discover something new!

5. It’s Iowa’s Longest Running Festival

In the festival’s now 13th year, you can attend 515 with peace of mind knowing that things will be organized, contain massive production equipment, and know that it will provide an experience over a decade in the making. After all, if they weren’t doing it right, how else would they have come this far? If you’re in the Midwest, this will surely be the place to be.
