FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Music Industry Creatives at Indiana University Presents Burning Couch Festival
On April 19, 2025, Indiana University’s student-run nonprofit Music Industry Creatives (MIC) is bringing back Burning Couch Festival! The all-day, all-ages celebration of music, art, and community will be held at Upland Brewing Co. What started as a grassroots student project has grown into one of Bloomington’s most exciting annual events, spotlighting emerging talent and creative expression.
This year’s fest features 17 performances across two stages, highlighting diverse sounds from hip hop, shoegaze, punk country, and indie rock. The lineup offers something for every music lover.
Headlining the festival is Interlay, a high-energy post punk band from Madison, Wisconsin, with support from the Bloomington favorite Seventh Cloud and a stacked roster of talented acts curated by MIC Events Directors Anna Prager and Robert Egolf. “We’ve brought in a wide variety of bands and artists ranging from indie rock to punk country, to rap, and to poetry. It will be great,” says Prager.
Inside the Wood Shop, attendees can catch eight acoustic performances while surrounded by Upland’s aging barrels and rustic charm. Just outside the space, over 30 local artists and makers will be offering everything from prints and jewelry to custom fashion and handcrafted goods. Add in Upland’s signature brews and delicious food, and you will have a perfect experience.
So grab your friends and come celebrate the creative spirit of Bloomington at Burning Couch Festival.
