U+NFest began in 2012 as a signature October event in Baltimore, hosted over two days at the Ottobar. Curated by Dana Murphy, a respected promoter and talent buyer who runs Unregistered Nurse Booking, the festival showcases a broad spectrum of punk and related genres. Over the years, U+NFest has featured bands and artists spanning punk, hardcore, indie, post-punk, and adjacent scenes, with notable acts like Shannon and the Clams, Lower Dens, Soul Glo, End It, Dehd, Snail Mail, and Waxahatchee gracing its stages. The festival is recognized as one of the two recurring gatherings produced by Unregistered Nurse Booking. While 2025 dates have not been publicly published, the event remains a anticipated annual fixture in Baltimore's music calendar.
