The venue is actually a old high school, there will be 6 stages set up throughout it. This is good and bad news. Good news is that it's indoors, so you don't have to worry about that rain that's in the forecast. Bad news is that it is that the property is still owned by the school district, so no smoking, drinking, etc. There will be food on site from Marco’s Pizza, Vehicle City Tacos, Shimmy Shack (limited menu), Eagle Express, and Crushed Smoothies. Plus you are allowed to re-enter the venue. So you can always leave for a bite or a drink and come back. 

Bled Fest is happening this Saturday, May 28th. Gates open at 11:30 a.m. and the first band is set to start around Noon. For set times, click here. All ages are welcome to attend and tickets are only $27. That's less than 50ȼ a band! Thanks to Fusion Shows we are also giving away one pair of tickets to the fest! If you would like to enter to win, please send your full name to hipindetroit@gmail.com with Bled Fest in the subject line. To double your chances, tag us (@hipindetroit) in a photo on Instagram telling us how bad you want to go to Bled Fest!
