ABOUT HILLSTOCK:

Hillstock is an annual Brooklyn music festival organized by Never Break Down. We invite about 50 acts of varying genres to our neighborhood of Brooklyn to perform at one of three shows during a weekend in early June. Each band plays a 30 minute set, and bands play back-to-back Friday through Sunday.

We are a non-profit operation. Tickets to Woodstock in 1969 cost $18 and 32 bands performed. In 2009, 2010, and 2011 our total admission price was $15 for all 3 days. Our goals are to promote great local music, build community, and provide an affordable and fun atmosphere for people of all ages to experience new music.
