OUR 2021 DEBUT

Being "the biggest" is not our ambition...However, after in-depth discussions with President Repollet, our mutual aspiration is to become Kean University’s "defining annual live music festival experience" -- which is reflected in the emphasis on quality over quantity. This ambition obligates the festival to ongoing innovation and concept development.
