Random Hero Says Nice Stuff About Us

One of the amazing bands we’ve got on main stage this year put out a press release a couple of weeks ago that said a bunch of really nice stuff! We are super excited to have Random Hero back on our stage. Last year’s performance was awesome and we can’t wait to rock out with the guys again this year.

Make sure you head over to their MySpace and take a listen. Leave them a note about how excited you are to see them at AgapeFest 2010!

Who Wants To See Skillet?

Skillet has just been confirmed to headline Saturday Night at Agapefest 2010. Skillet is no stranger to AgapeFest, but this will be the first time for the band to close the festival.

Skillet has had recent success with their new album “Awake,” which rose to #2 on the Billboard charts on it’s debut. “Awake” was #1 on both the Billboard Top Christian Albums, and Billboard Top Alternative Albums. “Awake” also reached #2 on the Billboard 200, and Billboard Top Rock Albums.

We’re excited to have Skillet back at the festival!

Thanks For Coming Out To The HOPE Tour

We just wanted to thank all of you for coming out and supporting The HOPE Tour this last week. The HOPE Tour really is a phenomenal tour with great bands, and a great message. Agapefest was very happy to be a part of this leg of the tour, and to be able to provide staffing for the show. Even though we were “working” we still had a blast working with Fireflight, Remedy Drive, and Abandon. The bands and tour crew are a great group, and they were a lot of fun to work with. You know you’re working with good folks when you can have fun loading a trailer at 11:30 p.m. on a school night. Read More »

Main Stage – High Flight Society

More great news! We’ve booked High Flight Society for Main Stage on Saturday. We’re stoked to have the guys play at our festival. They’re simply amazing.

Definitely go over to their MySpace and listen a bunch to bump their song plays. THEN, come out to AgapeFest in May and rock out to their sweet, sweet tunes. Oh, it might be nice to let High Flight Society know just how excited you are to see them at af09, leave some comments on their MySpace too. (They’ve got a new EP coming out soon too!)

VOTA & Brooke

Update: We are still trying to fill Brooke’s slot. More difficulties, VOTA had to pull out. But hey, that’s how the music industry works. We’ll keep you up-to-date here and on our twitter.

Hey friends. We’ve got some sad news, but then some exciting news.

The sad news is that Brooke Barrettsmith has had to cancel and will not be rockin’ the festival this year. We’re sad to lose such a great musician this year.

The exciting news is that VOTA is going to fill her slot. Have you heard VOTA? The band is fantastic. We’re all a-twitter here at AgapeFest HQ to have VOTA playing on Main Stage.

Fireflight Is Confirmed

That’s right! Our good friends in Fireflight will be back to AgapeFest 2009! If you weren’t at AF last year, you totally missed out because Fireflight was INCREDIBLE. We are super excited to have them back at the festival in 2009.

We are nailing down the last two slots in our lineup and will hopefully be announcing those sometime before Christmas. Thank you all for your comments about the lineup, it’s helped us out a ton and we are loving the lineup we’ve been able to secure.

Stuff On the Way
Thanksgiving will be here in just two days (and I’m hungry!), and we hope you have a fantastic time with your family and friends thanking God for all the great stuff he’s done this past year.

When you’re back from eating all of that lovely turkey and it’s finally time to start listening to Christmas music (you haven’t started already, have you?), we’ll have a bit of an early Christmas gift for you. More details will be coming on that soon, so make sure you check back here.

We’re also working on some super cool things to see here on the site. Our staff and cabinet at AgapeFest HQ love you all and want to show you a bit of what we do.

So! All the more reason to check back here soon! Have a great Thanksgiving!
