Due to ongoing recovery from Hurricane Helene, the 2025 AVL Fest has been canceled. Stay tuned for details on AVL Fest 2026!
Wicked Weed Brewing and Worthwhile Sounds' citywide music festival, AVLFest, returns Thursday, August 1 to Sunday, August 4 in 20+ venues throughout Asheville.
The festival will take on a “showcase style” format with several standalone headliners performing at the larger venues and smaller acts filling area concert halls, clubs, and outdoor venues, for a total of 100+ performances throughout the weekend.
Ticket Info:
"Locals-only" presale tickets are available now through Tuesday, February 21 at a discounted price of $50 and are exclusively for residents within a 75-mile radius of Asheville. After this local presale, a national presale will run through Wednesday, March 8. Prices will increase after that, right around the same time that the lineup is announced.
