About the event
Headlining the night is none other than Mustard Plug, the legendary ska-punk band out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Formed in 1991, they’ve spent over three decades bringing their signature blend of punchy horns, upbeat rhythms, and infectious energy to stages around the world. From Warped Tour to international circuits across Europe, Japan, and beyond . Known for their high-energy live shows and feel-good chaos, Mustard Plug delivers the kind of set that turns a crowd into a full-on dance party.
Joining them is a stacked lineup of regional and local favorites:
Nectar – indie punk band from Champaign, Illinois
The Write Ups – A politically-driven, dirty ska band out of Flint, MI.
Sid Kingston – a dance, funk, hip hop, pop, reggae group from Chicago.
Popped Balloon – playful, punchy, and impossible not to move to
