All 10 bands are listed below, but 2025's event includes Sunliner, Modern Shakes, LEXT, Harker, and more.
Through nine years, the showcase has included 60 bands in total and represented 19 countries as band's come to the US for The Fest and stay to play more shows during their visit.
"[In 2014,] I was asked to book a show for Laura Palmer and learned it was a three-piece punk band from Australia and not a solo singer-songwriter. This realization and my instant love of the band truly set the concept of Foreign Dissent into motion," says organizer Craig Mazer.
