Happy New Years to ALL! We're looking ahead to 2009 with anticipation - we had amazing crowds and an even better lineup than ever in 2008 and we're working to up the ante in July 2009!
We also want to take a moment to gloat and let you know that the Tulsa World voted Dfest the BEST concert of 2008! AND, Dfest made the top 100 in Urban Tulsa Weekly. So, we want to say thank you to both Tulsa World and Urban Tulsa Weekly for having such good taste!
So, what's new for 2009? We are working on creating an even better experience for YOU at Dfest! The first thing we want to do is give YOU the opportunity again to help us decide what artists should be at Dfest! Last year we asked who you wanted to see at Dfest and we brought acts that you wanted to see. Since you turned out in record numbers to see the acts at Dfest, we feel like getting your input is a good idea - so we're asking again who you want to see at Dfest 2009!

Dfest 2009 will feature around 150 artists representing more than 20 musical genres on a dozen stages in downtown Tulsa's historic Blue Dome District. Out of those 150 artists, generally about 130 of those are unsigned and emerging artists. The two-day multi-genre music festival with an added music industry conference was established in 2002 to help emerging artists gain exposure and connect with the music industry. Dfest hosts two full days of music panels, music clinics and artist mentoring at its conference. Each night, Dfest features national recording artists on large outdoor festival stages while top local, regional and national emerging artists perform on a multitude of outdoor states and indoor venue and club stages.
