Platinum selling emo legends, Hawthorne Heights, are ecstatic to announce and present the brand new OHIO IS FOR LOVERS FESTIVAL, a festival experience set to debut in Cincinnati on Saturday, September 10th and will feature a lineup carefully curated by the band themselves.

The festival will be split across three stages at Riverbend Music Center with a headlining set from punk legends Descendents along with performances from Bayside, The Wonder Years, Hawthorne Heights, Senses Fail, Story of the Year, Emery, Knuckle Puck, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Crimson Apple, Bad Luck, Mint Green, Dead Bundy, Better Anyway and more.

OHIO IS FOR LOVERS FESTIVAL will extend beyond just the bands on stage. The “Dunk a Punk” dunk tank will give fans the chance to step up and soak their musical heroes, with proceeds going to charity partners and Greenhaus Coffee, owned by Woodruff and his wife, Niki, will even be serving up coffee at OHIO IS FOR LOVERS.

Retro Kings Island-style souvenir stands will offer merchandise a cut above most festivals’ standard offerings, and Woodruff and co. will even be hand-printing their own shirts on demand at OHIO IS FOR LOVERS. Those opting for VIP packages will enjoy amenities including premier parking, access to private bathrooms and early entry.
