Dirt Fest, now in its 15th year, is an unrivaled experience in the heart of Mid-Michigan. With performances this year from Clutch, Chiodos, & dozens more, Dirt Fest stays on the cutting edge of emerging artists while bringing the best established acts as well.

As a one day event, Dirt Fest boasts well over 50 acts of various genres over multiple outdoor stages at The Birch Run Expo Center every year. Over the years Dirt Fest has hosted hundreds of bands like Alien Ant Farm, All That Remains, Silverstein, Mayday Parade, Four Year Strong, Hawthorne Heights, Every Time I Die, as well as Michigan born bands like Pop Evil and The Black Dahlia Murder. Banana 101.5 FM hosts the Dirt Fest with promoters Matt Dalton and Andy Dalton.
