599 Fest 2026 - Redding, CA - IOOF Hall and Whistle Stop Park

599 Fest celebrates Northern California’s indie music community, bringing together local bands and artists from Redding and Chico. Spanning three decades of sound, the festival shines a light on the scrappy, creative energy that’s powered both scenes for the past 30 years.

Interstate 5 and Highway 99 connect these towns not just geographically, but musically. For years, the Redding and Chico scenes have traded shows, shared stages, and kept things moving - when a venue closes in one city, another pops up in the other. Bands, musicians, and ideas have always traveled these roads, pushing each other forward.

599 Fest brings that connection into one place for two days of music in the communities that built it. It’s about finding new bands, catching up with old friends, and celebrating the venues, friendships, and late nights that's shaped the region's sound.

Live music, real community - this is what 599 Fest is all about.

Redding festival will have music at both the indoor IOOF Hall stage and outdoor Whistle Stop Park stage in Downtown Redding. Set times TBA. Thank you to Viva Downtown!!
