We know you’re stoked for the bands already, so we want to highlight some of the rad happenings going on all weekend:
ULTRAVIOLET returns to RPM Fest! Last year Ultraviolet was RPM's best-kept secret, but this year the tent is running all weekend long and doubling the space – featuring an artist gallery, vintage black light and psych posters, and the ONE® Condoms Lounge!
Plus, we have some sick entertainment lined up in Ultraviolet:
Friday @ 10:30: WIZARD FIGHT – Sludge, heavy psych, and stoner doom vinyl set by DJ NothingMeansNothing with visuals by Dregs Liquid Light Show
Saturday @ 10:30: SOMBRE ARCANE – Dungeon Synth DJ Set brought to you by Northeast Dungeon Siege
All weekend: RETRO VIDEO GAME CHALLENGES – Atari, NES, and SNES contests run by Too Sketchy Dudes Comics
RPM Fest is excited to announce a new addition in 2025: Stage Mutiny!
Produced by Leather Pixie, Stage Mutiny will feature sideshow, fire flow, and other visual performances throughout the weekend.
Please welcome our featured performers Moxxie Hart, Auria Virelle, Hella Hayes, Viscera Nefarious and more!
No captains allowed on Stage Mutiny!
