The highly anticipated Pig & Whiskey festival, presented by Sauce Magazine and 4 Hands Brewing Co., returns to 4 Hands’ downtown St. Louis location at 1220 S. Eighth St. from May 9 to 11, and we’re pleased to announce our first headliner: Story of the Year.
The St. Louis-based band – which rarely plays local shows – is renowned for their loud guitars, massive singalong choruses, and themes of uplifting perseverance. Their debut album, “Page Avenue,” was instrumental in shaping the post-hardcore scene, featuring enduring anthems like “Until the Day I Die.” Over the years, they’ve toured with notable bands such as Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Deftones and The Used, solidifying their reputation as a dynamic act. For more on Story of the Year, including their latest releases and tour dates, visit their website at storyoftheyear.net.
The Pig & Whiskey festival is a family-friendly event offering a weekend filled with mouthwatering barbecue, a variety of whiskeys and beers, and engaging live performances. While general admission is free, VIP tickets are available for purchase online. VIP attendees will enjoy perks such as an open bar, complimentary appetizers throughout the festival, unobstructed stage views, and opportunities to meet the performers.
