About Elsewhere Fest

Located in the heart of Downtown Wichita, this multi-venue festival unfolds across a curated footprint that includes primary stages at WAVE and additional stages at Where Else Stage, Norton’s Brewing, John Barleycorn’s, and Naftzger Park. With a capacity that scales from intimate indoor spaces to expansive outdoor setups, Somewhere Fest delivers a full-spectrum live experience across multiple days and sites.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning attendee, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transportation, and nearby lodging and dining options. Secure your seats and plan ahead with trusted local intel and affiliate recommendations.

Venue highlights include a flexible lineup that has featured headline performances by Killer Mike, Steve Aoki, Deadmau5, and Suki Waterhouse across various stages since the festival’s inception. The 2026 plan confirms Somewhere Fest & Conference returning to Downtown Wichita, continuing the tradition of multi-venue, multi-artist programming. For a smooth experience, arrive early, consider rideshare or transit, and explore nearby hotels such as Courtyard Wichita at Old Town, Hotel at Old Town, Ambassador Hotel Wichita, Drury Plaza, and Hyatt Regency Wichita. When you’re ready to eat, grab a bite at nearby eateries and local favorites—many are within walking distance of the festival footprints.
