Aminé has announced the lineup for the 2025 Best Day Ever Festival, which features Smino, Thundercat, and Zack Fox. The Portland rapper’s homebrew festival returns to Edgefield Lawn September 13 and 14 for its second iteration with another set of his favorite acts. Aminé himself will be performing, of course, while the lineup is rounded out by Amaarae, chlothegod, MIKE, and SoundsByDontā. Tickets for the festival go on sale Friday, June 6th, at 10 AM PT. You can find more information here.
The first Best Day Ever Festival took place in 2024 with BADBADNOTGOOD, Karrahbooo, Kaytranada, MadisonLST, Ravyn Lenae, Toro y Moi, and 3WayHeff. Apparently it was enough of a success to warrant another go-round, so perhaps it’ll end up being Portland’s answer to Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in a few years.
The festival will also mark the beginning of Aminé’s Tour De Dance supporting his new album, 13 Months Of Sunshine. You can see the dates for that below.
