The story

Volume Music Festival in Spokane

Volume is a music festival founded by Spokane's alternative weekly, the Inlander, showcasing local, regional, and national bands across roughly ten bars and venues in downtown Spokane. The two-day, 21-and-over event has featured over one hundred acts in a single weekend, though it has run intermittently, including a five-year pandemic-era hiatus and a scheduled pause following its 2024 return.

Volume was founded by the Inlander, Spokane's long-running alternative weekly newspaper, as a way to showcase the region's music scene using the same kind of curatorial eye the paper applies to its music journalism, rather than handing programming over to a commercial promoter.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Volume's defining feature is its wristband, multi-venue format: rather than a single stage, attendees move between roughly ten participating downtown Spokane bars and venues over a single weekend, letting a single ticket unlock access to over one hundred bands across genres

02

The mystery stays covered

Because it was founded and is still closely associated with the Inlander, Spokane's alternative weekly newspaper, the festival carries a strong local music-journalism identity, positioning itself as a curated cross-section of the region's music scene rather than a commercially booked touring lineup

03

The city starts moving

Its stop-and-start history, including a five-year COVID-era hiatus and a deliberate pause after its 2024 comeback, reflects the genuine logistical challenge of coordinating a ten-venue, hundred-plus-band weekend in a mid-sized city
