Nelsonville Music Fest Lineup Features Big Thief, Alex G, Kurt Vile, Alvvays
NELSONVILLE, Ohio – This year’s Nelsonville Music Festival will feature a quartet of indie rock critical darlings: Big Thief, Alex G, Kurt Vile and Alvvays.
The event will take place July 21-23 at Snow Fork Event Center, a remote park space surrounded by Wayne National Forest in southeastern Ohio. Last year, NMF took place over Labor Day weekend at Snow Fork.
The festival, dubbed “one of the Midwest’s best” by Time Out Chicago, will also include performances by dozens of other bands on three stages. Camping, activities for children, artisan vendors, food and beverage vendors are also part of the event.
Weekend passes for all three days are on sale now for $169, and the price will increase as the festival weekend gets closer. Weekend passes for teens are currently $85, and children 12 and under are admitted free.
