Tickets are now available for Best Dead City Music Festival on Friday, August 9th at The Brightside Music & Event Venue in Dayton, OH! Join us for an evening of music and dance over three stages - twelve bands, multiple DJs, and a HEARTSIQ Dayton dance party on the patio!

We’re proud to host Cincy’s native powerhouse art-rock cello freakout duo, Lung on the bar stage! They’ll be performing and bringing their trademark electrifying energy with them.

“The band’s sound crosses many styles and could be better described by feelings rather than genres. Metal and classical music may not seem like a natural pairing, but singer Kate Wakefield’s haunting and professionally trained operatic voice floats above her fervent cello playing alongside Daisy Caplan’s intense and hypnotic drumming.”— Katie Pinter, WOUB Public Radio

July 12 at 7 PM Nikki Hill

Overlapping soulful, sensual and bold vocal tones with powerful chrome-plated riffs and swagger, her voice finds a home in it - a soul singing, bar rocking, roots revivalist, that writes with frank self-reflection at a dancing tempo.

Don't. Miss. This. Show.
