Rise Against, Rancid Among Headliners Of New 1234Fest

Rise Against and Rancid are among the acts named to headline the inaugural 1234Fest, scheduled to take place on September 9 and September 23 in Denver and Philadelphia, respectively.

Jawbreaker and Descendents are the other headliners at the festival, which will also feature performances from Joyce Manor, Pussy Riot and Dilinger Four.

The festival, which was conceived and curated by the members of Jawbreaker and their team at West Bay Invitational, will take place on Saturday, September 9th at The JunkYard in Denver and on Sunday, September 23rd at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Philadelphia.

“We wanted to put on the anti-festival. This isn’t 200 bands on 10 stages. It feels like an insanely stacked lineup you’d see at hall shows back in the day and all of these bands have approached it that way. No egos, no rockstar bullsh*t,” shared Rich Egan of West Bay Invitational. “We have an arena headliner, legends and heroes sharing a stage with new blood and a groundbreaking women powered band. This is punk rock.”
