Get Ready for Bunbury Music Festival

Photo by KP Photography

Happy Bunbury Music Festival Week! Cincinnati is buzzing with excitement for the 6th annual Bunbury Music Festival. USA Today has listed Bunbury Music Festival as one of summer’s best music festivals, and Forbes included it among its top 10 summer music festivals worth knowing! 

This year is the most exciting lineup yet. Muse, Wiz Khalifa, G-Eazy, Bassnectar, and Pretty Lights Live are headlining. Bunbury veterans Death Cab for Cutie are headed back and Bunbury newcomers The Shins and The 1975 are bound to be favorites for many.

Make sure you download the official Bunbury Mobile App for iOS and Android to browse the schedule & create your own custom schedule! 

What to bring:

  • Water bottle – there are free water stations located all around the festival. We suggest an insulated bottle with a carabiner that you can attach to your belt loop, backpack or purse.
  • Poncho. If it pours, a poncho is going to be your best friend.
  • Sunscreen
  • Bug repellent (no DEET) – once the sun starts to go down, those bugs will get you! Don't forget Bunbury Music Festival is along the Ohio River.
  • Phone charger – there are phone charging stations available at the festival.

Don't want to have to carry all of this around all day? Don't fret about that either. Lockers are available to rent. Reserve yours now HERE.
