In search of its permanent home, one of the region’s largest “jamtronica” music festivals will set up camp next weekend at the Franklin County Fairgrounds.

The Homie Collective Campout, a three-day congregation with more than 100 jam bands and electronic artists, will take place from Friday, Aug. 25 through Sunday, Aug. 27. First held privately in 2019 for a group of “homies” and opened to the public in 2022, the festival looks to “bring all of these communities together” to the broadest extent yet, said Charlie Hildreth, CEO of the Homie Collective.

The spirit of the organizing collective’s mantra: “homie’s where the heart is.”

“We’re looking for the types who are down to get down with everything,” Hildreth said. “Pretty much anyone who’s open minded and loving, man.”

According to the collective’s website, Hildreth and other co-founders met as musicians playing alongside each other at music festivals such as New Hampshire’s “Wild Woods,” Vermont’s “Frendly Gathering,” Maine’s “Great North” and Massachusetts’ “StrangeCreek,” three of which have been discontinued. The collective formed as a means of keeping the culture alive in the region.

“Our mission is to hype the homies and promote organic growth through opportunities of mutual exposure,” the website reads. “A genuine passion for cultivating a loving community around creation has continued to carry our mission organically, now all across New England.”

Last year’s event, held in Lebanon, Maine, featured about 140 acts and was attended by more than 1,000 people, Hildreth said. This year’s event looks to be of similar scale. In addition to spectating a packed lineup of performers, attendees can spend their nights camping at the Fairgrounds, as well as enjoy Blackjack, standup comedy, a halfpipe, “The Homiegrown Cup” cannabis contest and more.

While historically jam band and Electronic Dance Music-oriented, Greenfield’s festival will harbor an increased hip-hop presence with a lineup of about a dozen acts. According to Aaron King, founder and leader of the featured Bridgeside Cypher, such inclusion is appropriate as the Homie Collective seeks more homies. A common thread between the Homie Collective and the Bridgeside Cypher, a Cambridge-based open mic performance series, is the “love or interest in the festival scene, which is very non-judgmental,” King said.

“The Homie Collective is just a great space for us to flirt with non-hip-hop exclusive vibes,” said King, who is also part of the Campout’s media team. “However you want to dress, however you want to act, however you want to express yourself … it’s always accepted at the festival.”

The Bridgeside Cypher aims to attract homies to the festival with the all-inclusive nature of its performances. They plan to host open mic performances for rappers and singers to freestyle both Friday and Saturday afternoon, while also hosting a more formalized performance Saturday evening where artists can sign up to perform a video-recorded, pre-written verse over a pre-selected beat. The selection of beats can be found at tr.ee/wlLUgGRu9w.

“Here we are ... ready to open the gates to this beautiful energy to everyone we can,” the website reads.
