In the It’s Miller Time VIP Lounge, fans enjoyed a private bar and additional Gourmet Man Food options, seated viewing of the festival main stages, and a sports bar showing all the weekend’s college and NFL football action.
LOUDER THAN LIFE, which had an estimated economic impact of nearly $13 million on the Louisville area in 2015, continues to drive tourism to Louisville. SaysDanny Wimmer Presents CEO, Danny Hayes, “This year marked the beginning of what we intend to be a broader inclusion of greater Louisville into the LOUDER THAN LIFE experience. Our focus is bringing tourism to this great city, and we want to make sure our fans get to see all that Louisville has to offer. We also want to make sure that local businesses benefit from our being here. This year we showcased Fourth Street Live! with official pre and afterparties. And our team particularly enjoyed a very special kickoff dinner at the Wine Studio at 610 Magnolia prepared by our favorite celebrity chef Edward Lee, and hosted by our dear friend, SiriusXM’s Shannon Gunz.”
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer comments, “Another strong year is in the books for Louder Than Life. Cheers to its return in 2017.”
“Visiting for a festival or event is the number one driver for tourism in Louisville, and Louder Than Life, with its strong following, has benefited the city both culturally and economically,” says Karen Williams, President & CEO of the Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We look forward to welcoming back this premier destination festival for the fourth year next Fall.”
Here is some of the positive press response to LOUDER THAN LIFE 2016:
“Louder Than Life is truly the ultimate festival experience for any fan of rock, metal and alternative music. With this being Alternative Press’ second year at the festival, it is incredible to see how much it has grown, and helped our community come together in a huge way. Long live rock ‘n roll!”
–Anthony Lauletta, Alternative Press, Social Media Manager
“The Louder Than Life festival kicked off Saturday at Louisville’s Champions Field with 12 hours of rock ‘n’ roll spread across three stages…the festival ran flawlessly with easy access to quality festival food, loads of bourbon, and lots of metal…the festival itself ran like clockwork all weekend. The short sets were perfect, staggered start times made it easy to see nearly any band you liked, and navigating Champions Park was a piece of cake.”
–Jeffrey Lee Puckett, Louisville Courier-Journal, October 1 and 3, 2016
“It’s the festival that gives rockers the metal they crave.”
–Chris Sutter, WDRB-TV (FOX 30, Louisville), September 30, 2016
In addition to the economic impact, LOUDER THAN LIFE also focuses on its social impact in the community. This year, LOUDER THAN LIFE’s charity partners, including Take Me Home Animal Rescue,Fxck Cancer / Dyin To Live, and Livin’ The Dream raised over $40,000 for various causes.
The Student Experience (TSE)–the outreach program of The Music Experience–featured a backstage tour for local music students from Mom’s Music – School of Rock to see the inner workings of a festival and learn about all the jobs the music industry has to offer. The Music Experience also hosted a “30 Seconds To Shred” guitar contest and “Beat Off” drumming contest for festival attendees. 14-year-old drum contest winner Michael Davis (who is visually impaired)left the audience at The Music Experience in awe when he showcased his drumming skills and beat over 40 contestants to take home a custom SJC drum kit as his prize. Watch a video of Michael’s winning performance here: www.facebook.com/louderthanlifefestival/videos/953999761394302/.
