The Aces will be headlining Fork Fest 2023 in American Fork, Utah, which begins tonight and runs through tomorrow evening. A long-time staple of the Utah music, The Aces have found national and international success after signing to Red Bull Records, with performances on late night shows like Late Night With Seth Myers and 2023 performances in England, Belgium, and Austria.
The band has been releasing new material all year: the singles “Girls Make Me Wanna Die,” “Always Get This Way,” and “Solo.” This culminated in the release of their new album I’ve Loved You For So Long.
Fork Fest begins tonight with a stripped down kickoff concert featuring NPR’s Tiny Desk winner Little Moon, Book On Tape Worm, Kyle Henderson, Stuart Wheeler, and Stephanie Mabey (whose music recently received a high profile placement in Netflix’s First Kill).
Other significant acts to appear on the Fork Fest stage on Saturday are local legends Joshua James and The Strike; 2023 The Voice contestant EJ Michels; and Velour Battle of the Bands winners Beeson and Cardinal Bloom.
Fork Fest 2023 will feature a total of 32 bands, three stages, and a varied selection of local food trucks, artists, and vendors. Presented by The Harrington Center for the Arts in partnership with Velour Live Music Gallery, this year’s Fork Fest will begin tonight, June 16. The main festival will take place tomorrow, June 17, 2023. Tickets are on sale now at ForkFest.org.
