More Than Music – A Legacy of Giving
DOWF honors the late Griffin Kolinski (Knights of the Abyss) with the annual #ForTheFather Award, recognizing outstanding contributions to the heavy music scene. Additionally, Paul Benson, co-founder of DOWF and former owner of Club Red, returns after surviving a heart attack and coma in 2024. In a full-circle moment, the festival will feature Club Red's original sound system, with Jeffrey Robens, Club Red's former lead sound engineer, running the show.
Press Opportunities & Media Access
In celebration of this landmark year, Keep Children Rockin' is hosting a pre-show press event and interview day, giving media access to festival organizers, artists, and beneficiaries of past donations. Personal stories from students and educators will highlight the life-changing impact of these efforts.
