The festival began in 2019 as a one-day event to mark the 20th anniversary of the local all-ages music venue Kilby Court. Last year's festival drew nearly 16,000 out-of-state visitors who spent an estimated $24.7 million in Utah. That event contributed an estimated $33.5 million to the state's GDP and supported an estimated 419 jobs for Utah residents. Headliners for the previous year included Turnide, The XX, and Lorde.
The festival stated that the 2027 event will continue the tradition of bringing together fans and performing artists to celebrate community and live music.
