The 2025 iteration of “No Rest After Fest” proved to be the most successful to date welcoming everyone from Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem to Waxahatchee and Tom Jones. Most shows begin at 9:00pm, allowing festival goers time to fight fest traffic and get cleaned up before the performance.
With more world-renowned artists booked over the past few years, the Saenger Theatre has become a nationally renowned venue, appealing to all music enthusiasts from country to indie rock to jam bands to alternative rock to EDM and alt country icon Sierra Ferrell. Given the unique nature of “No Rest After Fest’s” programming and the possibility for once-in-a-generation collaborations, there’s nothing quite like it.
