nineteenth Valley of the Vapors impartial music competition is that this weekend

VALLEY OF THE VAPORS
FRIDAY 3/17-SUNDAY 3/19. Cedar Glades Park, Sizzling Springs. $50 weekend cross, $20 single-day tickets. 

Valley of the Vapors calls itself an “underground” music competition, however whenever you constantly corral dozens of unimaginable bands from across the globe to the Ouachita Mountains for almost 2 a long time, that descriptor begins feeling like one thing of an understatement. Possibly what they actually imply once they say “underground” is that the competition has effortlessly retained its welcoming DIY ethos. With low ticket costs, uncommonly obliging hospitality and a dedication to prioritizing hidden, eclectic artists on the cusp of one thing better, VOV is an unpretentious establishment.

This yr’s fest consists of performances by zzzahara (Los Angeles), Begonia (Winnipeg, Canada), Fixed Smiles (Martha’s Vinyard, Massachusetts), Shutups (Oakland, California), Fact Membership (Raleigh, North Carolina), The Overseas Resort (Copenhagen, Denmark), Modeling (Fayetteville) and way more. Because the competition moved to Cedar Glades Park in 2021, tenting has develop into a extra attractive choice, which is accessible for $30 per day per automobile, or $75 for the entire weekend.
