With a huge 🖕to forces out of our control, and those who refuse to mind their own business, Rapid Fest will now be held at a Casa De La Raza in Santa Barbara, historic staple of hardcore and punk.
Casa has been a home for Hardcore as long as the genre has been a thing and it means the world to us that they’d take on our event last second.
While a last second move is a bit inconvenient (and let us tell you, stressful!) people who hate fun have always done their best to ruin hardcore shows, and hardcore scenes have always found a way. Ventura County is no different. This fest is for Ventura County Hardcore, it exists because of Ventura County Hardcore, despite people who will never understand, and most importantly, it exists because of you.
Nothing is stopping this scene or this show from kicking ass. Pack all your friends into the car, drive down PCH and jump off the fucking stage.
Any questions or concerns feel free to DM or email us at [email protected]
Rapid 2, this time at home base. A bunch of hardcore bands, a small open space, a homemade stage and nothing that even resembles a barricade. How it always has been and how it should stay. This is a Ventura County Fest and thanks to you our scene has gotten bigger and bigger. Which means we (you included!) are doing this shit even bigger this year.
It’s going to be a lot of fun, and it’s going to sell out, tickets are as cheap as we can make ‘em cause we want to see you there.
Friday show is free with your ticket or $15 at the door, inside with a stage (ie. Limited capacity, first come first served, it’s gonna pack out)
Skate jam (more info tba) is free and will always be free. Bring your board, skates, beach chairs, whatever and skate with your friends all day like you did before the internet ruined it.
Ventura county has one of the best scenes in the whole world right now, and it’s because of people like you 🫵. That being said, it’d be pretty weird to be anywhere else on April 8th. Tickets are moving, so grab one and make sure you’re there too.
