Festival founder **Rishi Bahl **comments:
_“I just love the city of Pittsburgh. 
It possesses a resilience and a charm that matches the people who live here. My 
love for punk rock started at the very location where we are bringing the festival
back; my first ever Warped Tour was in this very space, and bringing it back is 
a full-circle moment. F.N.B. Stadium is a beautiful location near the confluence
of Pittsburgh’s 3 downtown rivers, offering one of the most picturesque concert 
experiences._

_“We wanted to expand the festival’s reach by offering a day of bands that have 
never played Four Chord before, while still staying true to what helped the festival
grow. I think the heavier bands coming to the festival provide a nuance we have 
never had before. Additionally, the Saturday lineup brings out all of the pop-punk
and adjacent genres in new and familiar ways that our patrons love.I am confident
there is a band for everyone at this year’s festival, and we can’t wait for everyone
to see what our amazing city offers. See you in the pit.”_

**Adam Valen**, Director of Marketing at **Drusky Entertainment**, adds:
_“Being
right in the heart of Pittsburgh truly is a heartwarming and homecoming-type moment.
The first year we partnered with the festival was at this exact location, and having
the city as the backdrop to the festival felt cathartic._

_“We are both Pittsburghers for life and truly admire the city that raised us. What
started in a club on the other side of the Monongahela River has now grown into 
a nationally recognized independent festival. What this tells me is that Four Chord
has built a community through pop-punk, punk, hardcore, alternative, and beyond.”_
