The Labor Day Music Fest is one of Springfield’s biggest festivals of the spring. The tour was started in 1999 after the city decided it needed a big act to bring tourists in to jump start the local economy. The specifics for Labor Day Music Fest were developed by Harold Isenhower, who came up with them while listening to his favorite cassette tape. The new event did not receive much financial support or much advertising, so the tour started out pretty small, using a lot of local artists..

It took a few years, but eventually the city's residents embraced Labor Day Music Fest The festival booked bigger acts and the attention the tour received increased exponentially. Labor Day Music Fest soon began to see people travel from around the world to come to the event.

Labor Day Music Fest now sells out months in advance, with tickets generally gone before the first week of their being released. The tour is now so big that just about any band will say yes if asked to play. The organizers of the tour have not forgotten where they’ve come from though, and always ask local artists to play the smaller stages. Labor Day Music Fest has come along way from the tiny event it started out as, and seems only to grow bigger and bigger every year.

The festival is the must see event of the year with more big name groups and more stages than ever before. TheSeats.com provides everything a fan could want- Labor Day Music Fest tickets, tour schedules, concert seating charts, and more.
