We are SO excited to announce our fundraiser partnership with Bay Area Girls Rock Camp for their Spring fundraiser!
Many non-profits of today are at risk of loosing some or all of their funding. BAGRC is sadly amongst one of them and is very special bringing a lot of joy to the kids of the East Bay!
This event DOES NOT have Pre Sales. Please join us ready to rock and support! If you cannot attend the event you can always donate to BAGRC directly through their IG or through our link tree that takes you directly to their website donation page 🖤

5/13/26 John Greenwood DOLL FEST 2026 - HERE TO BE HEARD!
Doll Fest 2026 doesn’t ease you in, it throws you straight into the deep end. From the energy and charisma of the preshow to a stacked weekend at Oakstop, Maria and crew once again prove they’ve got an uncanny knack for pulling together lineups that hit from every angle: melodic, confrontational, strange, and unforgettable. Whether it’s the emotional lift of Skip The Needle, the unfiltered fury of ICK, the sheer force of 18 Fevers, or the beautifully unhinged spectacle of El Colectivo Sabinas (poor Pete), every set feels like a discovery or a reckoning. By the time War on Women detonates what’s left of the room, you’re not just watching a festival — you’re being dragged through it, gladly. #dollfest #18fevers #inspitemagazine
5/4/26 Maria Chaos
Gentrification Can’t Even Afford Capitalism
A 17-year San Francisco punk institution, Thee Parkside, is shutting down, another casualty of gentrification dressed up as “progress.” Of course, it’s more than a venue loss: it’s the erasure of a living, breathing community hub where music, misfits, and chosen family thrived. Unchecked development isn’t just displacing people, it’s hollowing out the soul of the city. The final nights at Parkside double as both a celebration and a protest, capturing a scene that refuses to go quietly, even as it’s priced out of existence. #theeparkside #gentrification #savemusicvenues #dollfest #inspitemagazine
We are OPEN!! Head over to our website Dollfest.net and maybe grab some merch you didn’t get a chance to buy!
We are currently working on having merch year round for you to wear/use!
Designers we might be needing your help with that on occasion 😉
Stay tuned 🫶🏼
