The Opportunity

MidPoint Music Festival has developed a reputation as the place to discover contemporary music, find the next big thing, and meet your new favorite band. Since 2001, their endeavor has been to embrace today's emerging artist, all with the same spirit employed by Cincinnati's celebrated musical pioneers, who always reached for something new.

For three days each fall, the beautiful and resurgent Over-the-Rhine neighborhood becomes a music-lover’s paradise. This year, for the first time, all stages are within two blocks, newly centralized to the Main Street entertainment district. This collection of young creative talent in an architecturally rich urban setting makes MidPoint a one-of-a-kind experience.

Showcase performers year after year are those buzzed about in critics’ year-end lists for ‘Best Album’ or ‘Best New Artist’ in publications like Spin, Fader, Pitchfork, NME, Filter and Rolling Stone.
