Self Help Fest
The inaugural Self Help Fest was an idea that vocalist Jeremy McKinnon came up with while talking with his girlfriend, "She told me that most people who come [to our shows] respond like it's more than just a concert to them," he says in a statement. "It's like the music is genuinely helping them. Thus we titled our festival Self Help, because at the end of the day, that's what music's all about.”[1] The first Self Help Fest took place on March 22nd 2014 at the NOS Event Center in San Bernardino, CA. While A Day to Remember headlined the festival, a number of punk rock and metalcore bands also performed, this included bands like "Bring Me the Horizon, Of Mice and Men, The Story So Far, Memphis May Fire, Attila, Letlive, and more."[2]
On October 4th 2014 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania only six months after the very first festival, with only A Day to Remember, Bring Me the Horizon and the Story So Far returning with their second appearance. Lead singer Jeremy McKinnon, from A Day to Remember, has high hopes for future Self Help Fests saying, “‘Self Help’ is a festival done right! There will be amazing bands and an amazing production in Philadelphia.”[3] Other bands such as The Wonder Years, Motionless in White, Chiodos, Gnarwolves along with other will make their first appearance at the festival. [3]
A Day to Remember's third Self Help Fest, that will take place in San Berardino, California on March 7, 2015 for a second time. But this time around A Day to Remember will not be performing but they did produce the festival along with Fly South Music Group and a couple other agencies.[4]
The upcoming festival will be held on March 19, 2016 at the NOS Events Center in San Berardino, California. A Day to Remember will be preforming unlike their previous festival where they did not.[5]
