Ponds Campsite in Peru, New York! Pondfest includes over twenty bands from throughout the nation, featured on two different stages in a beautiful rural setting.

Particle is Backwoods Pondfest’s featured artist for this first-round of artist announcements. Particle is currently hard at work finishing enough studio tracks to populate up to two new full-length albums, both of which will be released in 2015. The band plans to premiere select studio singles and to make their new music as accessible as possible for old and new fans alike. As founding member Steve Molitz said in a recent interview, “Particle has always been fueled by the energy of our fans, and we’re so excited to get back out on the road full-time, and to share all of this new music with the Particle People...”. The current Particle line-up also includes Disco Biscuits drummer Allen Aucoin, Brothers Past bass player Clay Parnell & guitarist Ben Combe.
Stay tuned for our second-round of artists, plus announcements about workshops, arts, entertainment, novelty vendors and more! Additional information and tickets can be purchased at Pondfest.com, as well as at select ticket outlets (see website).
