Future Ghost Fest is coming back to The Vines on August 8th, 2026. A full day of music in a beautiful location. Tickets are $40 and include the option to camp on site after the show. The lineup includes NINE BANDS!!!, and the members of Future Ghost Club will be cooking and serving hot food all day (or until we run out) for a small donation. You can eat whenever you get hungry, and no one goes hungry at Ghost Fest, so if you spent all your cash on merch and drinks, grab whatever you need and pay it forward someday if you can. The Vines has a wide variety of beer and wine available for purchase on site, so come on down to hang out with us and eat, drink, and be merry with some original live local music.

[2:00 PM] Educational Davis #
[Madison, WI] Educational Davis is a New Wave/Age synth/guitar rock/pop get people in the mood to dance/cry.
[3:00 PM] Fred, Really #
[Madison, WI] Alex Driver has been around the block. As a producer and MC, he’s a vital piece of the long-running Madison hip-hop crew Supa Friends. He’s also a standalone force in his own right. It doesn’t matter if Driver’s operating under his Supa Friends moniker (Al D), Ruwa Alien School, Dro Cup, or his new alias, Fred Really, in which he’s the sole producer and rapper. Everything Driver gets his hands on is imbued with a sense of unmistakable curiosity and a level of urgency. He is a person that fundamentally needs to make music, a trait acutely conveyed by a seemingly ceaseless discography.
[4:00 PM] Red Quean #
[Milwaukee, WI] Quean is an old English word for a disreputable woman. Red is the color of roses and blood. Red Quean is a band from Milwaukee, WI that blends violent femme energy, distorted experimental guitar, jagged synths and danceable beats to carve out a riot wherever they tread.
[5:00 PM] Dinner Break (NOT A BAND) #
FGC is cooking, and food is available all day, but we are taking an hour break at 5:00 PM to grab food and drinks and engage in some mutually beneficial social interactions.
[6:00 PM] Ellie Jackson #
[Milwaukee, WI] Milwaukee singer-songwriter Ellie Jackson brings a force all her own to her solo work, writing ’90s-meets-modern-day indie folk rock with gutsy vocals, thoughtful lyrics and plenty of distortion.
[7:00 PM] Future Ghost Club #
[Sauk City, WI] FGC writes and performs aggressively confrontational pacifistic girly pop. Others have described it as Protest Punk, Melodic Noise Rock, Power Slop, or Volatile Easy Listening, but we don’t like to be bound by the constraints of a particular genre or label. We hope you will give us a listen. We think you will enjoy what you hear.
