The JPC is thrilled to be part of FOMO Fest this Saturday, a fantastic opportunity to join a major local event and showcase some of the best emerging talent from the local area and beyond.

We’ve carefully curated our stage line-up, bringing back standout performers from the past year and inviting exciting new faces to join the bill. We’re especially excited about our JPC Stage headliner, The Molotovs, who are about to hit the road with the S*x Pistols and promise to deliver an unforgettable closing set.
