The Big Stomp, a music festival formerly known as PeteFest, is bringing in celebrated national acts like Lotus, Moon Taxi and The Floozies to play alongside well-known local names such as Mama Said String Band, Kiana & the Sun Kings and PAKG.
The two-day festival will happen Friday and Saturday, Oct. 14-15, at Jones Field, a 90-acre nature preserve located in southeastern Jefferson County.
Tickets are currently on sale. General admission for the weekend is $69.
The rebranded festival was first founded as PeteFest in 2017 to commemorate Pete Jones, who died by suicide in 2016.
Despite the name change, the goal of the festival is still to raise mental health awareness, and festivalgoers will have the opportunity to learn about healthy habits, practices, and mindfulness.
Below is the lineup of the bands and the performers on the electronic and dance stage, as well as a list of the mindfulness activities that will be happening at the festival.
