Baltimore's biggest DIY music festival is BAAAAACK for its second year! Subscape is a 3 day, 3 stage, 60+ band celebration of the subversive elements fueling Baltimore’s bleeding-edge underground. Like Baltimore's previous "Scapes" (Ratscape, Whartscape, Scape Scape, and Mix Tape), Subscape is a DIY, all-volunteer effort to uplift local artists and musicians.

THE DIFFERENCE? THIS FESTIVAL IS COMPLETELY FREE TO ATTEND!

The festival runs October 10th through October 12th at Metro Baltimore, Mobtown Ballroom, and Ema's Corner (former Joe2 building).

This year's line up includes (more TBA):

Deakin, The HIRS Collective, Arboretum, Dark Thoughts, LandisHarryLarry, Black Lung, Sadness, Bao Nguyen, Bedlam Brass, Blood Vial, Boat Water, Burger Monday, Carillon, Carl Gene, Catherine Savage, Chaz Monroe, Crawler, Curse, Curver, Curving Tooth, Darker Than, Distend, Early American, Embalmed, Eyelet, Genevieve, Gist, Glorian, Herschel Hoover Abstract, HEUP!, Illustratus, Julia Set, Khristian Weeks, LCL FMS, Linda Smith & Blake Douglas, Little Lungs, Manners Manners, Muscle, Nocturnal Cellist, Odebette, Oxrun, Pale Stag, Polluted Tongues, Scum, Suppai Helwa, Tartarean, Thee Windows, Total Maniac, Tripper, Underlined Passages, Vicious Order, Virginia Warwick Trio, Visitor Center, Waco Mammoth.

Our team set out to make Subscape FREE because we want to open up the Baltimore music underground. Our city has one of the best music scenes on the planet and it deserves to be championed by everyone who lives here.

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!! We’ve launched an Indiegogo to help raise money to make sure every band gets paid. Think of this as buying a ticket for a friend. Perks include shirts, posters, and VIP passes. Anything you can donate will help or even just sharing the link.
