Here it is, friends—Midwest Punkfest returns for year 13, and for the first time ever, we’re bringing it home to Live at Meltdown Creative Works.
Like years past, this one’s stacked with some of the best punk and rock ‘n’ roll this region has to offer—with a few curveballs thrown in (don’t be surprised if a couple local rappers hit the stage too). You’ll see names you know, and names you don’t—but every act is here for a reason.
We’re running it back with two performance spaces:
Main stage for full bands
Side stage featuring solo artists between sets
And on Saturday, our neighbors at Hive 309 will be hosting a vendor & artist market.
