Three Days to Live!

It’s year number seven for Portland’s most freaked-out weekender. Three solid days of some of the most “out there” rock 'n' roll bands making noise today.

Headliners in this year’s stacked 30+ band line-up include noise rock giants from Columbus, OH, The Cheater Slicks, garage rock standard-bearers from Pittsburgh, PA, The Cynics, and from LA, the highly unclassifiable and blazingly rad, Black Bananas. Full show line-ups below.

The best way to see the Bender is to buy a full-access wristband here. Why? It saves you money and you can see more bands. Nightly tickets can be purchased for $12 in advance, $14 day of show. The wristband is only $30 and it not only gets you into all three nightly shows but it is also the ONLY WAY to get into our exclusive semi-catered VIP-Wristband matinee on Bender Sunday afternoon. See line-up below and fest blog for more details. Free drinks and food included!

See all. Be all. Buy your Bender Wristband now, supply limited.
