From its first days as a little party with a few bands, to its current iteration as a major live music event bringing brand new artists and household names together on the same stage over several days, the FADER FORT has always been about one thing: the best music on Earth. The FADER’s daily quest is to find the people who will change, or already have changed, the direction of music, art and culture, no matter who they are or where they live, and The Fort has become our annual opportunity to bring the fruits of this search directly to the people who care the most. Over the years, The Fort has seen more than its share of momentous occasions, from MIA’s baby steps in 2003 to Lou Reed jamming with his descendants in 2007 to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. family extravaganza in 2009. Along the way and in between, almost every artist we love has graced The Fort stage and we have no plans to let up. This year, bands with only a few shows under their belts will play right alongside stadium-filling stars in a unique environment made especially for good vibes, intimate performances and lasting memories. We hope to see you there.
