Every year the Upheaval festival has grown, and 2023 is no exception. It is the strongest lineup from top to bottom the event has had so far, and unlike other festivals, they have not repeated a band yet.

Do You Want To See Upheaval Become an Even Bigger Festival?

I think it's great we have a rock festival in Grand Rapids but from experience, I have learned these can go away as quickly as they came.

A festival like an Upheaval costs millions of dollars to put on. The cost of bands, crews, production, video, and so much more is difficult to recoup. The way you can help is to buy a ticket. Support this festival whether you like the lineup or not if you want to see it grow. Tickets make great gifts and there is nothing better than the gift of music. Let's keep this going until there is no room left to put anyone in Belknap Park.

Last year the attendance was around 15,000 per day. Belknap Park can hold 40,000 people per day. Can you imagine the lineup we could get if 40,000 people buy tickets?

You want to see bands like Metallica, Tool, Foo Fighters, and anyone else that tops the lineups of festivals around the world. You and I have to be in this together, so get a ticket, and let's build a beast of a festival together.
