The full lineup and general ticket sale links will be announced on May 11^th. The founder of the festival Jake Zimmerman comments,

“Today’s Mixtape Festival 2015 lineup includes the most exciting and well-known bands that we have had on our festival to date. We are thrilled to bring a variety of the heaviest hitters in punk rock, hardcore and emo. After years of requests, The Movielife will make their hometown return as part of Today’s Mixtape Festival—their first Long Island show in thirteen years.”

A portion of this year’s festival ticket sales will go towards The Safe Center, Nassau County’s only comprehensive victims’ services agency, offering confidential and cost-free services to victims of child abuse, domestic and dating violence, rape and sexual assault, and human trafficking.

“The Safe Center is an important resource for sexual abuse victims on Long Island. This relates directly to issues in the punk rock and hardcore communities, issues that are usually ignored instead of being made aware of, discussed, and resolved,” shares Zimmerman. “As a community and as decent human beings, we cannot stand by and let these victims’ voices go unheard.” For more information on The Safe Center, please visit: http://www.thesafecenterli.org/.

Already in its fourth year as a festival, Today’s Mixtape prides itself on showcasing emerging talent that inevitably go on to great success, as evidenced by past lineups. The inaugural festival in 2012 featured The Wonder Years and The Front Bottoms, with The Story So Far and Modern Baseball in 2013, and Neck Deep and Stick To Your Guns just last year. It is a conscious decision to pick the most buzzed about, up-and-coming bands each year, as Zimmerman explains that these artists “end up growing along with the size of the festival.” With this year’s full lineup yet to be announced, fans have good reason to get excited about what Today’s Mixtape Festival 2015 has in store.
