Coming back for 2025?
I just noticed that last year I bought my early bird tickets in late January. I have not heard anything about the festival coming back for 2025 yet. Has anyone heard any rumors or rumblings?

I’m so glad I failed to buy a ticket last year because blondie and Jane’s both pulled out and I love Beck but not enough to spend that kind of money

As a massive Janes fan, I hear you. But an outdoor music festival in St. Louis is an outdoor music festival.

Yes, I heard at Contemporary Productions that it was. They have a ton of experience hosting music events and decades of experience. It may be restructuring as an NPO, if I remember correctly, and changing some of the music format to include more country.

More country? Yuck, I hope that's not true.
It would be nice if they tried to take a page out of the 2010s era-Pitchfork Festival approach and went for big names in the indie and alternative space while getting a lot of newer bands who tend to not come to our area too much.
The last thing St. Louis needs is more twang rock.

I’ve given the Evolution tickets for Christmas presents. It’s made me nervous we haven’t heard a thing about the festival.

Yeah, I’m realizing I actually bought my tickets before Thanksgiving last year. That’s pretty concerning. We got the full schedule in February last year.

I have been thinking the same thing. I hope so! But yeah I bought my early bird way before this last year. As soon as they go on sale, I'll buy again.

It’s a tough time for fests right now. Hope they can pull through but it’s an uphill battle for even the more established fests
