Last year’s fest, which featured well-received performances from the likes of Brandi Carlile, Ice Cube, The Black Keys, and Ben Harper, drew more than 25,000 attendees to Forest Park’s Langenberg Field.

“We are thrilled to bring Evolution Festival back to Forest Park for its second year,” said Steve Schankman and Joe Litvag, the festival’s producers in a joint statement announcing this year’s lineup. “Building upon the success of our inaugural year, we are committed to creating a dynamic and inclusive experience that celebrates music, food, and community. We look forward to welcoming fans to what promises to be an unforgettable weekend.”
