Get ready for a night of absolute grit and chaos as Midwest Mudfest takes over the patio at Boone and Crockett AND inside The Cooperage! THE MAIN EVENT: MUD WRESTLING The centerpiece of the night takes place on the Boone patio. We are featuring a roster of 20 mud wrestlers who will be going head-to-head in the pit. THE MUSICAL LINEUP We’ve assembled a heavy-hitting roster of bands to provide the soundtrack to the night. BUSSY KWEEN POWER TRIP (CHICAGO) Coming up from Chicago, Bussy Kween Power Trip is a Black Queer Punk trio that ditches guitars for a massive, bass-driven sound. Known for their "fuzz-drenched" riffs, skull-cracking drums, and sinister vocals, they bring a fierce, anti-establishment energy that is designed to shake the room. SEX SCENES (MILWAUKEE) A staple of the Milwaukee hardcore-punk scene, Sex Scenes is synonymous with "chaos-drenched liberation." Their sound is a snotty blend of thrash riffs and mid-tempo hardcore hooks. Since front-woman Sarah Turbo took the mic in 2021, they’ve solidified their reputation for raw, unapologetic live sets. CHAPPED LIPS (MILWAUKEE) This Milwaukee four-piece delivers a high-voltage blender of indie-punk, alternative rock, and "shreddy, heavy, twinkly" riffs. Known for their contortive dance moves and a deep musical chemistry that dates back to childhood, Chapped Lips brings a frantic, engaging energy to the stage. THE CULT OF NASTY (MILWAUKEE) True to their name, The Cult of Nasty (aka Nasty Boys) are local legends of the gritty and the loud. This drum-and-bass duo brings "hips, nips, and naughty nether region bits" to their performances, offering an intense, balls-to-the-wall energy that proves Nasty Boys really do do it all.
