MIG Fest has announced its lineup for this year. Bad Cop/Bad Cop, Half Past Two, Sad Snack, Simple Minded Symphony, and The Wild Jumps will be playing. The poster was created by Josh Frees. MIG Fest will take place on July 20 at organic fruit and vegetable farm Minto Island Growers in Salem, Oregon..
Salem is getting its own punk and ska music festival.
MIG Fest, happening July 17, will bring four bands from around Oregon to the Minto Island Growers farm in south Salem for an evening of fresh food, local beer and dance-worthy music.
Organizer Sarah Evans is a regular concert-goer, describing it as her release and just a fun thing to do. Live music is one of the things she s missed most during the pandemic.
Festivals she goes to typically take place in Portland. And while a lot of concerts are being announced now that COVID-19 restrictions are dropping, Evans said she, personally, still doesn t feel ready to go to a 10,000-person event.
