Audiofeed Festival returns this year (in just a couple of weeks actually) and I’m here to fill you in on all the great music and community you will experience. Audiofeed Festival has come to fill the void that Cornerstone left when it ceased to exist a decade ago. The creators of Audiofeed took a stand, brought along some experience and a diverse taste for remarkable independent music and further seek to share that undeniable influence with a new generation of music goers. Times have changed in the past decade but the one constant thread running through is that everyone still appreciates good music and are thirsting for something of substance. Check out all the great acts performing at Audiofeed 2022 July 1st-3rd in Urbana, IL. Early entry on June 30th. Tickets on sale right here. Full list of artists performing can be found below.

AudioFeed follows the steps of the legendary Cornerstone Festival, which established itself in
1984 as an alternative gathering focused on the Jesus Music counterculture that sprung out in
the late 60s/early 70s. Audiofeed began in 2013 in an effort to keep the core “family” of
Cornerstone alive. Audiofeed is not Cornerstone, but it’s the same family, and carries a similar
spirit.
“I’m so excited to be playing Audiofeed this year. This fest has been a family reunion and retreat
for me for such a long time and getting to be there and play this year after a few years away will
be a balm” says singer-songwriter Kevin Schlereth. “If doing the work of community with a
group of people dedicated to that work appeals to you, I think you will find a home at Audiofeed”
Skot Shaw, the lead singer and songwriter behind Alt Rock/Goth Leper says “Leper cannot
wait to play Audiofeed, partly because there are so many people we have not seen for the last 3
years or more, and anyone who’s ever seen Leper play knows it’s going to be about 50%
concert 50% worship service, and this year we’ve even got a few surprises”
AudioFeed Festival will feature about 75 acts within 5 stages including the main stages (Radon
and Black Sheep) which will host all the headliners, the Sanctuary Stage which will have most
metal and heavy acts, the Burningtown Stage, and the Front Porch, which offers impromptu
slots for acts to perform open-mic style.
Some lineup highlights include David Bazan and his band Pedro The Lion, who just released a
new album called Havasu, and interviewed with poet Hanif Abdurraqib on NPR; indie
singer-songwriter Rosie Thomas, whose remarkable new album has a cover song of Mariah
Carey’s “Always Be My Baby” featuring Sufjan Stevens, the Shins, Josh Ottum, and James
McAlister; Chicago celtic punk outfit Flatfoot 56, who will be doing their last “theme” set, a
tradition carried over from Cornerstone Festival; Jay Joseph, who recently did an arena tour
with his brother’s band Twenty One Pilots, and released his debut LP Imaginary Friends; and
Propaganda, the LA rapper and activist who recently released a book called Terraform and
hosts a podcast on iHeart Radio called Hood Politics and is a recurring guest on the podcast
Behind the Bastards with Robert Evans.

About AudioFeed Festival:
Audiofeed is music, arts, and community.
Music and Art is the center of what we tangibly “do”. Since our founding in 2013, we’ve hosted
over 500 bands, screened movies, explored performance and visual art, and created space for
our audience to share their music and art. The annual festival runs over the week and weekend
leading into the 4th of July and will be held this year June 30th-July 3rd.
Tickets include camping and the festival grounds provide some RV spots along with lots of room
for tent camping and a shower house. There are also lots of hotels nearby as we are located in
the heart of Champaign-Urbana, Illinois.
Our goal is to create an environment where unconditional love is nurtured, encouraged, and
shared without regard for appearance, religious belief, race, societal status, or any other thing
that separates us from each other in the world at large. We believe that the perfect example of
that Love was expressed through Jesus Christ and we do our best in fitful and imperfect ways to
follow His example. Exploration, questioning, doubts, fears, hopes, joys… all are welcomed
and encouraged. Ultimately we’re people who want to support each other and experience great
music and art with others who feel the same way.
