The performers page of the archive set out the stage schedule for several editions of the festival. This page describes the format and the kind of programming, without reproducing every entry.

The format

The festival typically ran from midday into the evening, with a different band or performer taking the main stage each hour. In 2015 eight acts played from noon to 7 pm, spanning local rock, folk and soul sounds. A music-shop showcase ran all day in a separate rock pavilion in 2015 through 2017. Between sets, short talks and arts performances were scheduled.

Speakers

The 2015 programme showed the kinds of topics covered. Speakers represented local groups working on subjects such as women’s and gender studies, voting and civic participation, environmental concerns, capital punishment, animal sanctuaries, racial justice, community health, food co-operatives and indigenous rights. These are the views of the speakers and their organisations as listed by the festival, and they are not endorsed here.
