ALT FEST is making waves in the rock music scene, thanks to the powerhouse performances of Mikki Brayboy and BellaOnBass. On August 30th, they introduce the theme of the Femme Fatale at 8:30 PM EST. Both artists are turning up the volume and rocking audiences to their core. BellaOnBass, also known as Isabella Squillace, has been shaking up the stage with her dynamic band, and Mikki Brayboy has been steadily building her cult-like fan base through her live shows and collabs. ALT FEST kicked off on December 7, 2023. What initially began small has grown into a high-octane event that beckons alternative music lovers from left and right. ALT FEST has attracted budding and seasoned performers alike. The first one included industry powerhouses such as BellaOnBass, Mikki Brayboy herself, and musical groups like Slow Animals, Cave Hole, and K/NG KA/. As the festival grew older, its stages started getting graced with an array of soul-stirring performances. The second one on February 10, 2024, brought along artists such as Gasp Jesse and Audrey Claire.
