Founded in 2019 with an emphasis on noise rock, No Coast Fest in Denton, TX will take place Oct. 27-30, featuring international, national, and local acts. The lineup for 2022 is set to include Metz, Protomartyr, KEN mode, Young Widows, Tropical Fuck Storm, Chat Pile, USA Nails, Bummer, Chat Pile, and a whole bunch more.

Festival founder Jeff Helland (White Drugs), notes: 

I'd wanted to start a festival since playing the AmRep 25th anniversary in 2010. Walking around there, you saw groups of people from all over the world who travelled not just for the music but for the community.
