Do the Midpoint

An estimated 60,000 music fans are expected to converge on Cincinnati this weekend for the 5th annual Midpoint Music Fest. This very zealous estimation will make this year’s Midpoint the largest to date.

The fans will be entertained by 300 independent bands from all corners of the United States, including Oregon, California, New York, and Florida. The bands will play at 17 different venues within downtown Cincinnati and Over the Rhine. Besides the music Midpoint offers a weekend’s worth of industry seminars and conferences with keynote speakers from within the Industry.

15 of those bands playing Midpoint are from Cinci’s northern neighbor, our fair city of Dayton. The impressive list includes, Captain of Industry, Jayne Saches, Ruetschele, Oxymoronatron, Late Nite Drivers, Shrug, Sleepybird, Jet Kid Committee, Side Show!, Luxury Pushers, The Villians, and others.

For a complete list of all 300 bands, venues and times of concerts, ticket information, and other info go to www.mpmf.com.
