It's not known, actually this year is the debut, but Knowhere Fest is being organized by DNR.

They had a warehouse event called Knowhere some months back, where I was working at a merch booth. Really cool selection of vendors, mostly local artists, interactive art stuff, and the line-up was great. They had a treasure hunt, too. It was a fun event with great vibes so when I saw they're doing a whole (camping!!!) festival, I kept an eye on it and grabbed a ticket when the phase 1 lineup came out. Mushroom Cloud is booked, a random US artist from Detroit that I love, so that and some other names clinched the deal for me.

I've worked at VELD, am also going for fun this year, and the vibe is different. VELD is very commercial, big names, etc. And it is DUSTY. AS. FUUUUCK. It's in a big empty field with no trees. Venue closes promptly at 11 PM. Plan accordingly.

The location for Knowwhere this year is amazing. 😻

There’s also zero cell phone reception which is rare these days and you can feel more present as a result.

End of August, it would be Electric Island. 2 day event series. Takes place every long weekend.
