The name of the event comes from the band’s guitarist Will Swan and his record label Blue Swan Records. Dance Gavin Dance have been known to combine elements of post-hardcore, math-rock, progressive rock and post-rock, a mix that’s been coined ‘Swancore.’

This will be the second installment of SWANFEST, the first taking place in 2019. The second year of the festival was supposed to take place in 2020, but the pandemic thwarted those plans.
