The Green Cup Campaign is the start of a new era at #Fest. Safety, responsibility, and cooperation are aspects of the event that will always continue to evolve for the betterment of the event and all its attendees as well as the community we host #Fest in. Beginning with #Fest: 12th Edition (AKA #12Fest), we will be initiating a Green Cup Campaign which will require anyone drinking alcohol to pour their beverage into a cup instead of drinking from a can.

- Why?: To PREVENT injury, to MAINTAIN integrity, to CREATE the safest environment for our artists AND attendees, and to ASSIST in our efforts to maintain a clean environment around the venue as well as continuing to further our recycling efforts.

- How to get a cup?: #Fest Green Cups will be available at the entry gate at #12Fest. Everyone who is over 21 will be required to get a cup. The cups are 100% free and you can take them home with you at the end of #12Fest.

Ohio University is about to be taken to an entirely new level with the announcement that I’m Shmacked, the college documentary tour known for their outrageous parties and crazy college videos, joins us for #Halftime on October 5.

I’m Shmacked has teamed up with upcoming DJs Fareoh and George Garcia to tour the midwest, including stops at Ohio State, Kent State and more. Originally starting as a video documentary series, I’m Shmacked has taken on a life of it’s own, depicting college life on campuses around the country. Everybody knows that when I’m Shmacked is in town, it’s going to get weird.

Fareoh, a 20-year-old DJ from New York, has enjoyed a rise in success, including touring with prodigy producer Madeon in 2012.
