After a 2 year long hiatus, it's back and better than ever. West End Fest makes it's return to Dicey Riley's on October 8th.

The mission statement remains true throughout this time off, West End Fest returns bringing some of the best bands from all over the country together for one night to celebrate some of the best varied music that you might not have heard before.
