The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) will welcome “Four on the Floor,” Princeton’s first and only alt-rock festival, to the Solley Theater on Saturday, October 17, from 6-9 p.m. Founded in 2023 by locals Jedd Lopez, Zoe Ferguson, and Melissa Kuscin, this event is completely musician-run and highlights emerging talent with over three hours of live music celebrating Princeton’s vibrant music scene.

Now in its fourth year, the festival continues its partnership with the ACP, with proceeds going towards ACP’s programs, exhibitions, public art, and other community initiatives. Since its inception, the festival has raised more than $4,000 for the ACP’s mission. The standing-room-only event will feature light snacks and water, with beer available for purchase to attendees 21 and older with valid ID. This year’s lineup includes bands Gina Royale, Sophie Swanson, Yipper, and returning favorite Bomber Jacket.

“We are so excited to bring Four on the Floor back for the fourth consecutive year. Created by musicians for musicians, we hope this event can be used to meet, collaborate, and get inspired by local bands in our area,” said Lopez. “We welcome everyone who enjoys live, local rock music. We hope to see you there on October 17.”
