Today, The Werk Out Festival revealed the full lineup for its 10th anniversary at Legend Valley in Thornville, OH August 1st - August 3rd. The festival has been doing a slow drip dropping one artist announcement per day and the final artist announcement includes the capstone of announcing Dopapod fresh off their mighty return at The Capitol Theatre as well as STS9, Steel Pulse, We Are The Champions: A Tribute to Queen (performed by members of Turkuaz, Papadosio, The Werks, Dopapod, and The Motet) and Pink Floyd’s The Wall: featuring members of Papadosio, Dopapod and The Werks.
Rooted in community, The Werk Out Festival wanted to ensure every artist got a moment in the spotlight. "We are doing the slow release because we feel like EVERY act we book are some of the best musicians in the world, and we want to showcase everyone individually to give everyone the attention they deserve!," says festival producer and drummer for The Werks, Rob Chafin.
The 10th-anniversary celebration honors the festival’s dedication to the community it has fostered in Legend Valley while simultaneously rounding up their most robust lineup to date. In addition to three nights of The Werks, the festival’s namesake group will be joined by Big Gigantic, STS9, The Lennon Claypool Delirium, Steel Pulse, The Floozies, Twiddle, Matisyahu and more. The full festival lineup can be found here.
