Promoter Matt Nichols says, "In today's crowded festival market, there aren't that many independently run festivals who are putting on events without jumping into bed with the big corporations. How many festivals these days feel soulless? With Redfest, I want to reduce the emphasis on gimmicks and corporate sponsorship and take things back to basics so today's youth can have the same experience that previous generations of festival goers had: an event put on purely with music in mind."
