The Experience

Upheaval spans two days and has two alternating stages and is held at Belknap Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In addition to the music you can also experience a VIP tour of the local breweries (tickets for the brewery tour are additional).

What do the different ticket levels mean? There are two separate ticket levels for the actual festival. General admission has access to both standing and seated GA areas. Upgrading to a VIP pass gives you access to the VIP lounge and other special amenities. In addition to access to the festival you can also purchase a brewery tour complete with beer samples.

Must have tips for Upheaval? In addition to the two days of rock Upheaval also hosts aftershows both days at The Intersection. The tickets are additional (but very affordable) and let you extend your festival even later. There's places to sit on a hill that looks over the stage. You may want to bring a towel or blanket to sit on. While the website does not expressly say these are permitted they have been in the past. You can bring chairs in (bag chairs are preferred by the festival).
