AudioFeed Festival, Central Illinois’ community & faith-driven three-day live music and arts gathering has announces the 2023 full lineup. The festival is set to happen at The Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana IL, on July 1–4 and tickets are now on sale.
The full music lineup includes Andy Squyres, Becoming the Archetype, John Van Deusen, My Epic, World Gone Cold, Glenn Kaiser Band, Idle Threat, and very special reunions by legendary acts Joy Electric / Ronnie Martin and The Ongoing Concept.
AudioFeed began in 2013 and has evolved into a festival best described by our vision to “cultivate cross-ideology community around Jesus and music.” Spoken word artist and poet Chris Bernstorf shares his thoughts about the festival:
“I love AudioFeed because it feels deeply real. It’s this weird, wonderful, messy collision of art from the most diverse of perspectives, and I really value that everyone can come together and have their space to share. Thankful for it & thankful for the friendships that I continue to make and see grow every year I get to be there!”
AudioFeed Festival will feature over 100 acts within 4 mains stages including the Bloodline Stage, Tuned Up Stage, [Sub]culture Community Stage, and Burningtown/Impact Stage. Among the other stages with special programming will be The Park Stage (for kids and parents during the day, and surprise gatherings in the evening), the Urbana Theological Seminary Tent with a wide array of speakers, and The Front Porch, which offers impromptu slots for acts wanting to perform open-mic style.
Some of the lineup highlights include Solid State Records experimental post-hardcore band The Ongoing Concept, who are reuniting after a 6 year hiatus with a new album, Again, and are performing two full sets, including a full play of their debut album, Saloon; the return of electropop/synthpop legend Ronnie Martin and his project Joy Electric; a reunion set of technical metalcore band Becoming The Archetype performing songs from their new album, Children of the Great Extinction; Singer songwriter and poet Andy Squyres; Facedown Records post-hardcore outfit My Epic; Tooth & Nail emotional rock band Idle Threat and aggressive power pop artist John Van Deusen; and the debut of supergroup rock outfit World Gone Cold, formed by Traa Daniels of P.O.D., Tim “Yogi” Watts of Demon Hunter, Andrew Stanton of Disciple, Mark Anthony of The Letter Black, and Ryland Raus of Attack Attack! & Inhale/Exhale.
Long-time attendant and 2023 seminar speaker Adam Shipp says, “AudioFeed is like the best part of a family reunion — without the fighting and the casserole. A time for scattered friends all over to get together and reconnect. AudioFeed it’s more meaningful to me than what I can say with a sentence or two. It’s more than just music… but also what happens in between like just eating together. For me and my family it’s one of the couple of times a year where we feel truly at home”
