Seasoned performers and rising bands merge in this multi-faceted festival powered by One Koast Entertainment where headliners have included Norwegian metal band Mayhem, Virginia’s Indie Go-Go group RDGLDGRN and Baltimore’s soulful rockers The Evokatones with fusion ska & reggae. Power Plant Live! & Rams Head Live, which can hold up to 1,400 fans, throb with Maryland’s best bands in concert, while more intimate stages like Tin Roof, Mex Tequila Bar, Luckies Liquors and Leinenkugels Biergarten, pulse with music as fans do tequila shots, sip margaritas or crunch nuts & chug beer at Luckie’s Tavern amidst Baltimore’s biggest selection of canned brews.

à la Las Vegas Strip

Power Plant Live!, a hip entertainment complex packed with nightclubs, comedy cabarets, bars and restaurants, has an outdoor passage that connects each of the separate venues, allowing festivalgoers to meander from site to site with their drink in tow á la Las Vegas strip. Fans can plunge into the heady rock scene at Angel’s Rock Bar, move onto the high energy setting at Howl at the Moon, and then get into the country vibe at PBR Baltimore – think wooden floors, ice cold beer & an electric bull.

Iceberg & Glacier

Frozen stages are appropriately named “Iceberg” & “Glacier” and partiers are encouraged to get “their froze on” to the beat of rapper Redman or to Ballyhoo!’s rock-pop-punk-reggae tunes. Local stars like The Grilled Lincolns, a hot five-member Baltimore group, stir-up the crowds with their funk hip-hop performances at the trendy Baltimore Soundstage concert hall.
