It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.
Usually kept to Southern California, Self Help Fest expanded to three other cities this year, taking the San Bernardino-based music festival across the country. With great anticipation, Midwesterners were met with a warm weather welcome at the Detroit date. Even the anticipation of the rain couldn't quell the fans' excitement to see A Day To Remember, Rise Against, Underøath, and many more incredible bands.
A Day To Remember has been a high-rising rock band for several years, garnering respect from listeners and other bands from several genres. Recognizing a downfall in the hard rock scene, the band decided to take action towards a solution. Beginning in 2014 as just a one-day festival in Southern California, Self Help Fest, which encourages hard rock bands to support each other, will span across 4 different states between 2017 and 2018. At each date in 2017, you’ll be able to catch fan favorites Underøath, Moose Blood, Wage War, The Plot In You, and of course, A Day To Remember (San Bernardino’s lineup has yet to be announced).
