Festivals in Kansas

Under the vast skies of the Great Plains, Kansas grows a festival scene that mirrors its land: wide open, heartfelt and rooted deep in American soil. Far from the mega-festivals of the coasts, the Sunflower State stirs its prairies on a human scale, where the rolling Flint Hills meet wheat fields stretching to the horizon. This is the home of country and folk, of anthems that taste of dust and freedom: the Lovegrass Music Festival carries that spirit in its very name, a nod to the tall grass of the plains, while Red Clay Strays Fan Fest gathers the faithful around a raw-souled brand of Southern rock.

Wichita, the "Air Capital" and the state's largest city, sets the industrious tempo of Kansas, while Lawrence, its fiercely independent college town, keeps a rare musical energy alive in the heart of the plains. Between these two poles, gatherings like Somewhere Fest map out their own geography, somewhere between the open road and the horizon. FestT computes your FestiScore — how closely a line-up matches your favourite artists — and keeps dates, headliners and ticketing up to date, so you never miss one of those nights when Kansas starts to sing.
