WE Fest is a multi-day, totally DIY, volunteer-run extravaganza that always takes place during the week of Memorial Day Weekend. The first WE Fest was held in 1996 and since then, indie bands of all shapes, sizes, colors, and sounds have played this Fest, made friends, and gone home to network, share gigs, keep in touc...h, and make WE Fest part of their lives. Past participants have included The Dismemberment Plan, Dufus, the Mooney Suzuki, xbxrx, Lamb of God, Discount, Mae, Frank Moore, Val Emmich, LandSpeedRecord, ASG, the Negatones, Tris McCall, the Milwaukees, the Waking Hours and many, many more. For the first year in our history, we are no longer disqualifying bands who have major label ties.
