St. Charles, Iowa – Get ready for a musical extravaganza in the heart of Iowa! The Hinterland Music Festival is back in 2024. Think of this awesome fest as kind of like the Coachella of Iowa. Held at the Avenue of the Saints Amphitheater in St. Charles, this multi-day festival is a must-visit event.
What’s the Scoop?
The Hinterland Music Festival has been rocking since 2015, and it happens every August. It’s the granddaddy of music festivals in Iowa, and it’s not just about the tunes. You’ll find cool art, craft vendors, and camping fun.
Meet the Organizer
Sam Summers, the brains behind this shindig, knows a thing or two about music. He’s not only a co-owner of a local music spot but also a booker for concerts. Talk about knowing the beats!
Change of Plans
Originally, Water Works Park in Des Moines was supposed to host the festival’s first year. But Mother Nature had other ideas, and flooding worries made them shift the party to St. Charles. Even with the switch, they managed to attract a whopping 14,000 music lovers over two days. It was a hit!
In 2019, the festival stretched its legs and became a three-day sensation. More music, more fun!
What’s Happening in 2024?
Get your dancing shoes ready because from August 2 to August 4, 2024, Hinterland Music Festival is taking over the Avenue of the Saints Amphitheater in St. Charles, Iowa.
Rocking Lineup
The festival promises to be a blast with headliners like Hozier, Vampire Weekend, and Noah Kahan. Plus, a bunch of talented artists, including Lizzy McAlpine, Mt. Joy, and Orville Peck, will keep you grooving all weekend long. For more details visit their website.
Where to Find the Jams
You might wonder where this musical wonderland is. Well, it’s at the Avenue of the Saints Amphitheater, 3357 St Charles Rd, St. Charles, IA 50240. It’s about 30 miles south of Des Moines, just off I-35.
What’s New in 2024?
