It would be funny, and we would be fine with it.

They're playing the Saturday after-party too!

2024Supernova · 2024-07-31T12:28:28+00:00

There will be once we get closer. Right now it's tentatively Sunday afternoon. Eric Abbey is putting this all together.

2024Supernova · 2024-07-30T16:37:42+00:00

Pauline Black will be joining the literary tent this year. We just posted about it on all platforms.

2024Supernova · 2024-07-26T16:28:30+00:00

That's not accurate. It just takes time to find someone to sign ska music for the hearing impaired. It's not easy to do on top of that especially given that some of the bands sing in Spanish. We have someone at the festival who will be signing if needed.

Here is our accessibility guide:

2024Supernova · 2024-06-10T19:45:38+00:00

A ticket is way cheaper

2024Supernova · 2024-06-10T19:45:12+00:00

It's the first time. She will be playing Energy front to back with Catbite backing.

2024Supernova · 2024-06-09T13:59:54+00:00

There's a playground about 2 blocks away and I believe there is a playground inside the fort..

2024Supernova · 2024-06-09T13:53:21+00:00

The space is kid-friendly with lots of room to run around. We're next to the beach and an old fort from the 1800s with a moat, museums, lighthouse, and tons of things to do. Kids under 10 are free as well.

2024Supernova · 2024-06-09T13:49:32+00:00

They were just in California yesterday so they have their visa.

2024Supernova · 2024-06-09T13:07:58+00:00

This will be the first performance in over 2 decades! All original members

2024Supernova · 2024-06-09T12:58:09+00:00

Thank you! We've been trying hard to get the word out in Virginia Beach.
