The surge in music festivals has pushed people to boredom. Another festival means another couple hundred dollars to see a generic lineup in a gated area selling $7.00 tacos. Don Giovanni Records recognizes the ridiculousness and are anxious to re-claim the excitement back into the festival this September with The New Alternative Music Festival.

The lineup celebrates diversity, D.I.Y., and  talented musicians that are not always included in the standard festival lineup, including Aye Nako, Downtown Boys, Mal Blum, Radiator Hospital, Kindling, Ought, P.S. Eliot, Worriers, and Upset, just to name a few. Emphasizing differences between The New Alternative Music Festival and the many other festivals, Don Giovanni issued the following statement.

“This is a pro-weirdo event held in direct opposition to the apolitical sludge that has come to pass as ‘indie’ and that has nothing to do with operating independently.”

In the same spirit, Don Giovanni has pledged to keep the cost of the event low, making three day passes $75, the price of a day pass at most festivals. Although the event isn’t until this fall, tickets are available  now.
