Its hard to believe that Milwaukee Psych Fest is already in it’s 5th year. Moss Folk’s Andrew James Shelp started the festival strong back in 2012 and is truly outdoing himself with this years lineup. The 5th year of the fest expands to three Milwaukee venues, cramming in as much live music as possible (over 30 acts) for fans of psych, garage, noise, and more, all in a matter of three days. We’re pretty damn excited.
The full lineup is listed below, check back later in the week for more in-depth previews of each incredible night as we prepare ourselves for this ridiculous lineup!
