#Fest expands on its long-running success with a massive 15th Edition milestone and equally exciting lineup. Young Thug and Jauz will headline the Athens, Ohio, festival on April 21 and 22, 2017 alongside Lil Yachty, 21 Savage and Louis The Child. In 2016, #Fest was well-attended by 20,000+ people; this year Prime Social Group, producers of the festival, are setting the bar even higher.

“The 15th Edition of #Fest is an incredible accomplishment for the brand,” said Dominic Petrozzi, #Fest Founder and festival partner at Prime Social Group. “To be considered a cornerstone of the college experience for hundreds of thousands of coeds since our inception in 2004... gives our entire team a great sense of pride. I’m humbled by our beginnings and how far we have come with #Fest and look forward to making this Midwest experience one of the best in the country. This year's lineup includes some of the biggest names in popular culture as well as some of the brightest stars in music.”
