About Petestock 2025

A Celebration of Music, Community, and Hope

Petestock is more than just a rocking fun event. It's an idea. It's a way of life. It's a vibe.

Petestock is about individuality - different strokes for different folks - you do you, and I'll do me. It's about having fun, feeling inspired, staying motivated, and living with ambition. It's some real carpe diem shit!

Petestock 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of my 18th birthday on August 29th, 2005. On that day my friends threw me a concert birthday party in a backyard in the suburbs of Milwaukee, WI. Now that I'm older and feeling nostalgic, it's time to throw it back to my roots - a return to where it all began - a DIY celebration of how far we've come. Also, with 2 kids of my own now, it's also about passing the torch to the next generation and keeping the spirit alive.

Petestock isn't just about having a great time - though it'll certainly be tons of fun - it's also fueled by a specific purpose: to cure ALS. Petestock 2025 is dedicated to raising funds for Project ALS, turning our collective passion for music into a powerful force for change. It's a festival for a cure, blending joy with a mission to make a real difference.
