are there any acts you’d like to see play liberation in 2026?

Community, Solidarity, and Good Fucking Music: Liberation Weekend Recap — Swim Into The Sound
Any music festival that starts with a wall of death and a band smashing a guitar is cool as fuck in my book. Any festival where the lineup is comprised of mostly trans and queer musicians is powerfu...

More than $30K for trans rights. Can we get a W in the chat
Thanks to all of you who attended the first Liberation Weekend, and the help of all our amazing sponsors, we were able to raise more than $30K for GLM. We’re still crunching the numbers though and the total may be more than $35K. We look forward to next year, because there’s no way we’re letting this momentum slow down. And we hope this event and its non-profit model inspires more festivals like it in other parts of our fracturing nation. Grateful, beaming and eternally yours, the Liberation Weekend team.

WoW! (that's not one but two W's!). Congratulations and thank you. Thrilled to have had an opportunity to contribute a very small sliver of that, and I had a fantastic time in the process. Win-Win (two more W's!)
