Attendees will enjoy live music on three stages, a vendor market of local artisans and dealers, delicious food options from several local food sellers and of course, the great beer, cocktail and mocktail menu from Axelrad. Our aim for RADFEST is two-fold: to revive the Houston festival scene and to guide our graduating School of Rock students into a safe and viable environment to merge into the local music scene. RADFEST seeks to bridge the gap by bringing together student bands, local bands and national acts on the same stage and Axelrad Beer Garden is the perfect environment to do that safely and successfully. 2026 marks the second year for RADFEST and we're expanding from one day to three full days celebrating local music. Friday night is our kickoff party featuring band favorites from last year's lineup. Saturday and Sunday will feature performances from School of Rock House Bands from all over Houston and Texas as well as local Houston acts with evening sets from headliners and supporting acts. Axelrad Beer Garden has been awarded Houston's Best Beer Garden by Houston Press for several consecutive years for their outstanding beer selection, comfortable environment and eclectic event schedule.
