Hyperfestival will be August 21-23 in participating downtown venues. Last year had a records 230 bands and deals between industry and bands were either done or started here. This year due to venues burning down or closing we had to move dates from May to August, scale it down. This year all of Hyperfestival is free even the panels. This year we will also have A&R reps from most major and indie labels scaling the showcases hoping to break the next big Albuquerque band. Please come and support the Hyperfestival and your favorite bands. The Kickoff party will be held Thursday Aug 21 at The Launchpad. Bands playing are
