(Pedal) power to the people! You and your #squad of 8, 16, or 22 friends can power the music thanks to Rock The Bike! Groups will bike in 15 minute shifts to generate the power that keeps the lights on and the music rockin'.

Sign up to power the music here!

3. To make your 90's dreams come true.

Sister Hazel will be here (!!!) so all of you college kids with 90's nostalgia will finally have the opportunity to dance- or bike- along to their greatest hits and their latest album while the sun sets over the Black Warrior River. Talk about good vibes!

4. To sing along at the top of your lungs.

Try to deny it, but as soon as those opening notes of "All For You" fall on your ears it's going to go from 0 to HARD TO SAY WHAT IT IS I SEE IN YOUUUU real quick.

5. To claim your "I heard it first" credit.

Groove to the best local musicians like the Doctors and the Lawyers, Looksy, Shaheed & DJ Supreme, and Wray (pictured). They've been preparing at "little" festivals like SXSW and touring around the UK, but you can see them at Yellowhammer- no badge or plane ticket required!

And in a year when your friends are hearing them on the radio, you can totally say you heard them first.

6. To get your creative juices flowing.

Take a break from biking and unleash your inner Gaudi! We'll be creating a mural out of 100% recycled bottle caps at the Festival and we want your help!

You'll even be leaving a mark on Tuscaloosa and after the festival the mural will be displayed at Sassafras Center for Arts and Environment for everyone to enjoy!

7. To take the perfect #foodstagram.

You'll want to cool off and re-fuel after powering a band, so we've got Tea Town, Steel City Pops, and Jim n' Nicks on deck to help you out! Grab a spot in the grass, a cool glass of iced tea, and a BBQ sandwich- just be sure you tag us in the 'gram!

8. To meet inspiring community members.

Ever wondered what it's like to be the Black Warrior Riverkeeper? Want to know who's on the forefront of expanding recycling at UA? Need to see where the closest farmers market is? Find out all this and more at our community partner booths. You'll walk away with free swag and pro tips on how to go green in Tuscaloosa!

9. To save the planet.

We get it- going green is hard! Yellowhammer makes it easy, all you have to do is show up, power awesome music on our bicycles, and jam out! You're welcome, Captain Planet!
