The locations that are involved with the fest are the Echo, Sea Level Records, The Jensen Rec Center, Downbeat Café, Little Joy + more.

Full schedules and a map to guide you to each venue will be available the day of event. And remember, the cover charge gets you a wrist band that grants you access into all of the venues, given you the option to see a every band.

Plenty of tickets will be available the day of but its recommended that you show up at a decent time cause they may be sold out if you get to the fest at 10:00pm- if that is the case buy a ticket in advance blah blah blah blah. really, all I want to say is that this is going to be a fucking party!
