The Counterpoint Music Festival

The genius coordinators of Lollapalooza, Camp Bisco, and Lights All Night bring you the next incomparable festival: Counterpoint.

The town of Saugerties, NY received approval from MCP CEO, Jonathan Fordin bringing forth the first Counterpoint Music Festival to New York this upcoming summer, July 11th – 13th.

The vote was unanimously decided on Wednesday, January 9th 2013. Fordin expects the festival to make an announcement that will include a lineup and more exciting details within two weeks.

Last year, dance music icons like Skrillex, Laidback Luke, and Bassnectar graced the stage as fans went wild in Atlanta, Georgia.

This will be the first festival at Winston Farm since Woodstock ’94. Looking back on the impressive lineup from last year, this will be the Woodstock of our generation!
