DIY Kingston Fest!

November 21, 2026

We are so excited for this awesome Collab with DIY Kingston!

DIY Kingston & Red Eye Booking present: DIY Kingston Fest!

See 16 awesome HV-based bands at 2 venues that are only a block away from each other: Keegan Ales & Night Swim. We felt it was about time that Kingston had a fest that actually represents the talented bands in the area. These are some of our favorite bands in the Hudson Valley, and quite possibly, the entire world. The range of genres varies widely: indie, psych, surf, punk rock, post-punk, pop, jazz fusion, world music, etc.

Tickets are $20 adv./$25 d.o.s.

To avoid fees, you can pay via Venmo (@James-Kwapisz [put a random emoji in the payment description]) or Zelle (239-823-8464–include your name with the payment so we can check your name off the list at the door), or of course, cash is king. This is a very grassroots operation. All sales will go directly to the bands, organizers, photographers, sound people, and door people.

We hope you’ll join us and support our vibrant music community!
