IndieCraft 2025 returns for its 6th year, celebrating music, craft brews, and community with an intimate, high-energy experience. This year’s festival takes over two iconic Springfield venues—Mother Stewart’s Brewing and The State Theater—on May 16–17, delivering a curated weekend of unforgettable performances.
Friday night kicks off with a double-header. At Mother Stewart’s, Leggy brings raw, infectious energy, while The State Theater hosts Salvador Ross, WAFHU, and Visitor—a genre-blurring lineup of indie grit and psychedelic rock. With both venues buzzing, Friday sets the tone for a weekend full of creativity and connection.
Saturday is a full-day celebration of sound and spirit. The action starts at Mother Stewart’s, where an expansive outdoor stage and patio welcome sun-soaked sets from Stay Outside and Snarls. Paired with our fan-favorite BeerFest, the vibes are laid-back, flavorful, and lively.
As evening falls, the magic moves to the historic State Theater. Since 1927, this beautifully restored venue has set the stage for unforgettable moments. This year, it becomes the backdrop for soul-stirring performances from Aaron Lee Tasjan and Wild Pink. Local craft distilleries add a tasty twist, offering spirit tastings to complement the night’s sonic journey.
Whether you’re a returning fan or discovering IndieCraft for the first time, this is your invitation to a weekend where music matters, moments resonate, and everything is crafted with care. IndieCraft 2025: Real music. Real vibes. All yours.
