Kennett Winterfest announces live music and brewery lineups
Kennett Collaborative recently unveiled the live music and brewery lineups for the 14th annual Kennett Winterfest. The popular festival will return on Saturday, Feb. 28 for a full day of music, craft beverages, and community celebration in Kennett Square. General session tickets are still available for the event, including non-alcoholic tickets for guests who prefer mocktails and a dry experience. The DEFCONN session, which includes an exclusive reception and tastings with a catered lunch, is already sold out.
This year’s lineup offers a range of styles from indie rock and pop-rock to crowd-pleasing covers, appealing to a broad audience.
The Tisburys are a Philadelphia-based indie rock and power-pop band that have been recognized as Artists to Watch on WXPN 88.5 and featured on Steven Van Zandt’s Underground Garage. Since forming in 2015, The Tisburys have shared the stage with acts including The War on Drugs, Gin Blossoms, Drive-By Truckers, Jenny Lewis, and Neon Trees. Known for high-energy live performances, they will headline Kennett Winterfest this year.
Blank Pages is a blues-rock and pop-rock group from Newark, Del. delivering melodic guitar riffs, catchy hooks, and energetic live performances. Blank Pages has sold out venues including The Queen in Wilmington and performed at the Manayunk StrEAT Food Festival. They will open the festival and set the tone for the day’s music.
Delco Donny is a viral TikTok character portrayed by Philadelphia-area singer-songwriter Jake Dillon. Known for pop and rock covers delivered in a distinctive Delaware County accent, Delco Donny has gained widespread attention for performances in unconventional settings, including Wawa parking lots and the grand opening of an Acme supermarket. His set combines music, talent, and humor, engaging audiences throughout the festival.
“Live music has always been part of Winterfest, but this year’s lineup brings added energy to the festival and reinforces it as a fun winter community experience, not just a tasting event,”explained Mary Lou Baily, Kennett Collaborative’s development manager.
