DAM!FEST

About Me

DAM! Fest is your brain on music.

On October 11-15, 2007, DAM! Fest will host a city-wide weekend extravaganza, where highly buzzed acts will be crashing DC in the spirit of our city's historical (and now reawakened) celebration of musical diversity and community.

As a service to both the great city of Washington, DC and music fans throughout the country, our vision is to reignite the DC music scene and cultivate greater visibility on the national radar.

In the vein of San Francisco's Noise Pop Festival and the Pop Montreal Festival, DAM! Fest will showcase members of the local music community alongside national acts - bands who you might not, but should, know - bringing them all together at various rock venues in the District.

Don't miss out on this year's event, with Cat Power, Craig Wedren, Stellstarr*, Dirty on Purpose, Big Sleep, and many more!! Visit the official DAM!Fest website at: www.damfestival.org
