The band was formed by three of the members in 2005 while they were in high school and joined by two other members a couple of years later. They really got fan’s attention after playing multiple shows at SXSW in 2009. Local Natives have released three albums and several singles. Sunlit Youth is their most recent album that was released in 2016.

The festival will bring local and national bands that are on the come up. There will be a total of five bands performing.
