80/35, the nonprofit music festival presented by the Des Moines Music Coalition, returns for the first time in three years Friday and Saturday, July 8 and 9, 2022, in downtown Des Moines’ Western Gateway Park. The 13th edition of the festival will feature over forty acts across three stages, two of which are free, along with additional pop-up stages and performances all weekend.

International pop star CHARLI XCX and songwriter and bandleader FATHER JOHN MISTY will headline. The 2022 festival will feature a diverse mix of acts from across the US and the globe.

We could not be more excited to return to downtown Des Moines for the first 80/35 since 2019. Since 2008 the festival has become an essential part of the fabric of summer in Des Moines, and we look forward to celebrating the musicians, music fans, music industry workers, and volunteers who make this festival so special.
