936999 281592175310233 1488618832 nI sincerely hope you’re sitting down, because you’re about to get the best news ever. Get ready for the festival to end all festivals! Intensity Music Fest will be held Sunday, Aug 4th in Arlington, VA, and man, oh man is it gonna be awesome! Not only is the line-up fan-freaking-tastic, featuring bands like Demon Hunter, War of Ages and Becoming the Archetype, but it’s also a festival with a purpose that’s near and dear to the hearts of us here at the Joyful Noize show. Intensity Fest isn’t just a rock festival, it’s also an artist showcase, where local and independent musicians have a chance to be heard by radio and industry professionals. It’s not a chance that every band gets, and it’s so important to not only help them get recognition for their musical talents, but to give them a chance to be noticed and to spread the word of God to a wider audience. Yay, media!

In addition to tons of awesome sauce music to please your ear holes, you can also expect giveaways, food, games, merch, meet & greets, Q & As, autographs, and even an on site skate park! What more could you possibly want from a festival? Honestly, I’m not sure why you’re still here and not on their website buying tickets.
