Some of the bands joining them over the weekend are the surf-rock indie band Peach Pit, the post-punk synth artist EKKSTACY, hip-hop/funk artist Terry Presume, and the soulful disco pop group Say She She.
Some Nebraska-based performers will be making appearances including Icky Blossoms, BIB, M34N STR33T, Garst, HAKIM, and Ebba Rose. Twelve DJs will also be featured during the festival’s silent disco event.
