Our region is getting a new music festival this summer. The Bellwether fest is slated for Aug. 10-11 at the home of the Ohio Renaissance Festival in Waynesville, Ohio, about 40 miles north of Cincinnati in Warren County.
The event’s Facebook page describes Bellwether Music Festival as a “two-day, two-stage alternative rock and country music festival with camping located near Caesars Creek State Park in Ohio.” This afternoon the festival announced its first five acts, with more (presumably some of the Country ones?) being announced at a later date. Performing at the inaugural Bellwether fest will be The Flaming Lips and MGMT (which both have performed at Cincinnati's Bunbury Music Festival), plus Dr. Dog, Whitney and Local Natives.
Two-day passes are available online now here. Early-bird passes are $85; camping and RV packages are also available.
