“Every single band playing is one we either grew up loving, have played alongside or simply enjoy hanging out with,” says Hawthorne Heights front man JT Woodruff. “We wanted the line up to be diverse, inclusive, and created with a simple goal: LOVE AND COMMUNITY. We wanted the bands to feel loved, the fans to feel loved, and people of all walks of life to be represented and welcome.”
Kansas, Colorado, and Ohio are all for lovers
The festival opens with Kansas Is For Lovers and takes over Wichita’s Wave. It will feature an indoor stage with local acts as well as the line-up provided.
Next is the Colorado Is For Lovers at the Levitt Pavilion with a similar line-up as the Kansas show.
Last, but certainly not least, the festival will end with the Ohio Is For Lovers show (of course). The show is split across three stages at Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center.
Headlining sets include punk legends Descendents, New Found Glory, and Motion City Soundtrack. Plus, there will be performances from Bayside, The Amity Affliction, Silverstein, The Wonder Years, Hawthorne Heights, Senses Fail, Story of the Year, Emery, Knuckle Puck, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Crimson Apple, Bad Luck, Kississippi, Lurk, Mint Green, and more.
Clearly, Hawthorne Heights focused on elevating women, artists of color, and LGBTQ musicians across the lineup. All three IS FOR LOVERS FESTIVAL dates emphasize Hawthorne Heights’ commitment to inclusivity and optimism that power their career. The festival honors the late Hawthorne Heights guitarist Casey Calvert and Bayside drummer John “Beatz” Holohan by naming the stages after them.
On top of it all, the Dunk a Punk dunk tunk will give fans the chance to sink their musical heroes while raising money for various charities.
