Pleasantville Music Festival 2023

July 8, 2023

The Pamnation Party Stage at the Pleasantville Music Festival is all about discovering your next favorite band! Each year Pamnation handpicks the emerging artists to play the stage after months of scouting from the cozy corners of local suburbs to the hip beats of the lower east side and the vibrant energy of Brooklyn and beyond!

We are proud of who we have found and we think you're going to dig it, too!

Here’s your next favorite band…

As winners of the Battle of the Bands, Hunter Road rightfully earned their spot to open up the festival on the Pamnation Party Stage.  Their hard rock sounds got the crowd moving and put everyone in the best mood that carried through for the entire day!

SOCIAL CREATURES

Website: Social Creatures

Our favorite synth rock band out of Brooklyn killed it at Pleasantville Music Fest on the Pamnation Party Stage and late into the night at the afterparty at Lucys. We love Social Creatures Band; their music, their passion and their overall humanness. They are true social creatures!

How about a side of soul and blues with your reggae?! SunDub delivered all and got everyone dancing. What a fun band to have on our stage!

MOONUNITT

We were lucky to join these 4 humans on their psychedelic journey through space and time as they landed on the Pamnation stage and made us forget, or embrace, the rain with their ethereal sounds! Moonunitt is one smooth band with an expertise that shines through and illuminates the tightness of this family.

How about a little lust for life to close out the Pamnation Stage?! The Criticals are not short on energy or colossal sounds and they treated us to an all out rocking set in true rock star fashion!
