FUTILITY FEST: An Exercise in futility
at NYABINGHI IN YOUNGSTOWN, OH
Friday, Oct. 10 - Sunday, Oct. 12: Columbus Day Weekend
Three Days, 29 Bands
Youngstown, OH -- Nyabinghi announced their first attempt at Futility
Fest. The festival lasts three days over Columbus Day Weekend, from
Friday October 10th through Sunday, October 12th. Nyabinghi is
located in Youngstown, OH at 1229 Salt Springs Road, approximately one
hour outside of Cleveland and an hour from Pittsburgh, PA.
Futility Fest came to being from a realization that most festivals around
the country attempt to cater to a specific genre, and have very little
musical range. Futility Fest is an attempt to break those boundaries.
Understanding that there‚s a great quantity of quality bands that don‚t
get the attention they deserve, this festival is an opportunity for these
acts to get their music out to a wide range of fans.
The festival will feature performances by 29 bands, including headliners
like Oxbow, Helios Creed, Skeleton Key, Stinking Lizaveta and many more.
The event is an indoor festival, though the parking lots yield
plenty of interacting between bands and fans throughout the three days.
In addition to band performances, several booths will feature related
merchandise and food for sale.
The venue is located approximately one hour outside of Cleveland and is an
hour away from Pittsburgh, PA. It can easily be accessed from the I-80
interstate. See the website for specific directions or contact
the Nyabinghi at [email protected] for routing and directions.
For press information, please contact Greg Barratt at [email protected]
Tickets are available for sale in advance online at www.ticketfusion.com
