Hawthorne Heights | Seated | a Sofar artist service

The “Is For Lovers Festival” launched in 2022, with Hawthorne Heights, the founders and curators of the annual outing, bringing the touring trek to three cities for its inaugural run. In 2023, “Is For Lovers” expanded to 10 cities, spanning the U.S, from Hawaii to the Outerbanks of North Carolina. Named after Hawthorne Heights’ iconic song, “Ohio Is For Lovers,” the 2024 line-up of artists will be Hawthorne Heights, I See Stars, Anberlin, Armor For Sleep, Emery and This Wild Life. 

Beyond the music, “Is For Lovers” delivers an all-around experience for attendees, fostering collaborations with local vendors, hosting a diverse, regionally-inspired marketplace, and featuring a range of activities such as the renowned “Dunk-a-Punk” booth. With its blends of music, camaraderie, and entertainment, “Is For Lovers” stands as a vibrant celebration of community and happiness.

Hawthorne Heights is an American rock band from Dayton, Ohio, formed in 2001. Their lineup currently consists of JT Woodruff (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Matt Ridenour (bass guitar, backing vocals), Mark McMillon (lead guitar, unclean backing vocals), and Chris Popadak (drums, percussion). On November 24, 2007, rhythm guitarist and unclean backing vocalist Casey Calvert died, leaving the band as a four-piece. On June 2014 it was announced the departure of original drummer Eron Bucciarelli. On January 20, 2015, it was announced that Micah Carli (lead guitar, unclean backing vocals) had left the band as well.
