Locals Only Music Festival in Chattanooga | Local News

Five Wits Brewing Company and Barrelhouse Ballroom will host their first annual Locals Only Music Festival in response to two major Chattanooga music festivals being canceled.

The two-day event will occur on October 12 and 13 and will showcase sixteen local Chattanooga bands and musicians.

“Given how Chattanooga lost its two main music festivals this past year, we decided to step up and throw one of our own,” said Mike Monen. “The vision for the festival came from a desire to raise awareness about the incredible music talent we have right here in Chattanooga, and to create a space where these bands can support one another.”

Event Details:

• Location: Five Wits Brewing Company and Barrelhouse Ballroom
• Headliners:
  • Saturday Night: YGTUT & The Plugs, The Afternooners
  • Sunday Night: Behold The Brave, Strung Like a Horse
• Featured Acts:
  • Land Camera
  • Red Pawn
  • Dos Fuegos
  • The Bohannons
  • Et Cetera
  • Danimal Planet
  • LVNDR
  • Rick Rushing
  • Lon Eldridge
  • Luke Simmons & The Lovestruck
  • KillaKeyz
  • Milele Roots

The festival will use two stages and will provide a variety of food and drink options.

“This is hopefully just the beginning,” added Elliot Kehoe, who prefers simply to go by The Brew Dude. “We all recognize that there’s so much that Chattanooga has to offer, and we just thought ‘Well, we’ve got this space, why don’t we be the ones to make it happen?’. We want people to see Chattanooga the way that we do – as a city full of talented people doing amazing things, and kickstart this weekend of fun and celebration around that community.”

Prices start at $50 for a two-day pass, with day-of tickets rising to $60. Early purchase is encouraged as space is limited.
