One of Washington, D.C.’s greatest tours of the year is Wanee Festival. The festival was started in 1986 after the city decided it needed a big act to bring tourists in to jump start the local economy. Wanee Festival was still in the develop phase when Mark Molitor came with the specific details that have come to define the tour. The festival started out as a little event, featuring a lot of local acts..

After a few years the residents really embraced Wanee Festival The tour began to get some more established acts to perform, but still included the smaller that had been with the festival since the beginning. Hotel rooms in the city were soon being filled months in advance for the dates around Wanee Festival.

Wanee Festival tickets do not last long now, generally selling out months before the actual event. Organizers of the tour no that they have a responsibility to ask local groups to perform, even though they could probably get just about any band they want. Wanee Festival has come along way from the tiny event it started out as, and seems only to grow bigger and bigger every year.

This year’s festival promises to be the biggest yet with a stacked bill full of star acts and the best up and comers. Wanee Festival’s tickets and latest concert information are available on TheSeats.com, along with the complete tour schedule for the group.
