Krazy Fest
Krazy Fest
Krazy Fest was the brain child of Initial Records President Andy Rich. It was a weekend long music and lifestyle festival that ran annually for six years from 1998 through 2003. Over the years Krazy Fest would help introduce music fans to such bands as Dashboard Confessional, AFI, Jimmy Eat World, Alkaline Trio, The Dillinger Escape Plan and several other artists that would go on to platinum selling status.
Krazy Fest 2011
The seventh installment of Krazy Fest, after an eight-year hiatus, took place on May 20, 21 & 22nd at Expo5 in Louisville Kentucky.

Krazy Fest 2003
The sixth annual installment of this Krazy Fest took place in Louisville, KY August 1–3, 2003 at the Louisville Waterfront Park, a 72-acre (291,000 m²) municipal park adjacent to the downtown area of Louisville, Kentucky and the Ohio River. Specifically, it is adjacent to Louisville's wharf and Riverfront Plaza/Belvedere, which are situated to the west of the park. This would be the final year for Krazy Fest, until its brief resurrection in 2011.

Krazy Fest 2001
The fourth annual installment of this dynamic entertainment experience took place in Louisville, KY July 27–29, 2001 at the Historic Louisville Water Tower. The Water Tower of Louisville, Kentucky, is the oldest ornamental water tower in the world, having been built before the more famous Chicago Water Tower. [4] This would be the most well attended of the 6 Festivals driven by a once in a lifetime performance of The Dillinger Escape Plan featuring Sean Ingram from Coalesce on vocals for the entire set. This would also be the Midwest's introduction to the soon to be multi-platinum selling Dashboard Confessional. A torrential downpour on Day 2 would have absolutely no effect on attendance.

The third annual installment of this dynamic entertainment experience took place in downtown Louisville, KY May 19–21, 2000 at the Riverfront Plaza/Belvedere. Tickets for the weekend long event were only $30 and this time around the festival would go by the shorthand nickname of "K2K." It would be highlighted by a headlining set from soon to be horror punk torchbearers AFI on Saturday night. In June 2006, AFI's newest album, *Decemberunderground *, was released on Interscope Records and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. [5]

The second annual installment of this rock and roll juggernaut took place in downtown Louisville, KY May 19–21, 1999 at the Riverfront Plaza/Belvedere. It would be highlighted by a late Sunday night set from future rock superstars Jimmy Eat World. On July 24, 2001, Jimmy Eat World would release the album, Bleed American. The album became self-titled following the September 11, 2001 attacks, next reverting to its original name for a Deluxe Edition re-release in 2008. It has sold over 1,500,000 copies to date. Cave In did not perform due to a van fire earlier in their tour, which destroyed much of their equipment. Ink & Dagger were originally scheduled to perform, but did not show up for unknown reasons.
