515 Alive Music Festival Announces Lineup 15th Anniversary!

The15th Anniversary of 515 Alive Music Festival has announced its biggest lineup EVER including Excision, Griz, and more!

515 Alive Music Festival dropped its 15th-anniversary lineup today that includes bass juggernaut Excision, master of funk GRiZ, and hip hop maestro Gucci Mane. A phase 2 lineup will be released in the coming weeks as well featuring supporting and local acts. This year, 515 Alive Music Festival will take place at Water Works Park in Des Moines, Iowa on August 18-19. A special 24-hour sale on tickets is going on NOW to celebrate the lineup release, which you can buy HERE!

The festival will also feature a new massive location and needed improvements for 2017. New seems to be a theme this year as the 2-day festival will introduce on-site camping, a second all national act stage, and exclusive campers only on-site after parties. If you haven’t been to the largest music festival in Iowa, check out our review from last year.

As we previously reported, the 515 Team has been able to figure out a solution to the two main issues we had with the event in 2016 by changing the venue and the date. A new location will provide reduced sound overlap between stages allowing bigger and better staging and production, while the change of date will make sure we don’t melt in the sun.

We’re excited for a hybrid camping/city festival experience that the festival is introducing for 2017. Few festivals are able to provide camping while being able to pull out to the street and be blocks from downtown. Spots are extremely limited for on-site camping, so be sure to book your spot sooner rather than later!
