80/35 Music Festival is a multi-day music festival in Des Moines, Iowa. The name comes from two prominent interstates, I-80 and I-35, which intersect in Des Moines. The festival includes a stage for national touring bands and several smaller stages featuring regional and local supporting acts. In addition to music, there are booths for local organizations, interactive art, food and beverage sales, and resting places.
The festival brings an estimated attendance of over 30,000 people annually since 2008. More than 45 acts are featured each year. Past headliners have included The Flaming Lips, The Roots, Public Enemy, Modest Mouse, The Avett Brothers, David Byrne & St. Vincent, Wu-Tang Clan, and Weezer.
The festival is nearly 100% volunteer run and is organized by the Greater Des Moines Music Coalition, a 501(c)(3) non-profit committed to building a stronger and more diverse live music economy in greater Des Moines.
On July 7, 2023, it was announced that the festival will move to nearby Water Works Park in 2024. As stated on the 80/35 Facebook page, "With 1,500 acres of natural space, the park will provide more access to nature, space to expand the festival, and opportunities to highlight issues important to us including environmental consciousness and preservation." From the 80/35 website, "The 2024 edition will feature multiple stages of music, with a mix of free and ticketed entertainment in keeping with the festival’s long-standing tradition. In addition, 2024 will see an expanded retail market, more food vendors, a kids and family zone, and much more."
