FIRSST Fest is BACK!!!! Beyond thrilled to host again this year!

A message from the organizers:

WE’RE BACK, BABY!

We are so excited to present the SECOND FIRSST FEST: Familiarizing Individuals with Radical Sounds, Skills, + Togetherness!

On Saturday August 24th, a show comprised of 100% brand new bands will take place! This show is all about first-timers: whether it’s your first time playing in a band, first time playing a new instrument, or first time playing with new people, we’re here to celebrate it!

Over the course of ~three months in New Jersey this summer, we’re helping a whole new group of bands figure out how to form, play together, and get the confidence to rock out in front of new friends and old! Specifically, we’re aiming to support people who have little to no experience with music and people who identify as women, LGBTQ+, and people of color.
