OffBeat Music Festival
OffBeat Music Festival is a citywide musical extravaganza showcasing northern Nevada’s growing exploding music scene. The 3-day festival features the best homegrown musical and artistic talent alongside major festival-circuit darlings and nationally touring bands across 60 performances at more than a dozen venues in the Reno Brewery District. A driving force behind OffBeat Fest is music discovery, introducing rising stars in every genre and turning them into your new favorite bands. As they say, “Lend your ears, lose your fears.”
This raucous, three-day “music discovery” event packs more than a dozen Reno Brewery District venues with upwards of 60 emerging regional and festival circuit artists, spanning everything from psychedelic rock to outlaw honky-tonk to retro soul. Be sure to show up rested—the party tends to go all night, every night.
Usually held in early October, OffBeat Fest takes over stages in intimate barrooms, larger showrooms, and pop-up stages in funkier settings around town, creating a “music crawl” where wristband holders can easily performance-hop and catch as many shows as possible. Event venues include The Depot Brewery & Distillery, Black Rabbit Mead Co., The Jesse Hotel & Bar, and many more. While the 2025 lineup hasn’t been released yet, the 2024 lineup featured Ghost Funk Orchestra, Tommy Guerrero, Moondog Matinee, Fleetmac Wood, Federale, Teddy and The Rough Riders, and dozens of others.
