About

Marking its 11th year Sept. 27-29, Cincinnati’s MidPoint Music Festival has developed a reputation as the place to find the next big thing. Many of last year’s performers made year-end lists for Best Album or Best New Artist in major music publications such as Spin, Fader, Pitchfork, NME, Filter and Rolling Stone.

The list of recent MPMF performers includes Cut Copy, The Joy Formidable, Okkervil River, Booker T., The Felice Brothers, Best Coast, Phantogram, Surfer Blood, Caribou, A Place to Bury Strangers, Holy F*ck, Fang Island, +/-, Colour Revolt, Cults, Candy Claws, Brighton MA, Drink Up Buttercup, The Strange Boys, Felice Brothers, Javelin, Heartless Bastards, The Do, Chairlift, Micachu and the Shapes, Sarah Borges, Bob Pollard, Wussy and Buffalo Killers.

Attendance has grown along with the buzz, jumping from 13,500 in 2008 to more than 23,000 in 2011. Sales of three-day MPMF wristbands were up significantly last year, and overall box office receipts have doubled since 2008.
