48 Hour Music Festival

The 6th 48 Hour Music festival has descended upon us in its first summer scheduling ever. Thirty adventurous artists from different Portland bands of all genres agree to step out of their comfort zones and be randomly shuffled into 6 supergroups, announced on Thursday August 13. No members of these newly formed bands are allowed to have previous musical history with one another. From there, each band has exactly 48 hours to construct and practice a 25 minute set of material, culminating in the Saturday performance. This entirely new pool of local talent, featuring members of Mouth Washington, South China, Stone Tools, S.S. Cretins, Contraposto, War Animal, Last Sip, Babe, and more! This years group will be tested by a need for teamwork and a couple of sleepless nights. Each year, the 48 Hour Music Fest has proven to be one of the most exciting and creative nights of the year and a sold-out show so buy your tickets in advance!
