More music is being brought to the city of Oshkosh, as it holds its first-ever Valley Vinyl event. 

Located at the Leach Amphitheater on 303 Ceape Ave., the event is to have headliner Ski Mask the Slump God, along with other musicians such as Snow Strippers, Homixide Gang and eight more on Saturday May 10. 

Founder Johnathon Jungwirth explained his thoughts behind the event, and how it came to be.

“I’m from Oshkosh, so it’s really cool to bring something exciting to the area,” Jungwirth said. “Oshkosh has never seen something like this before. My main goal was to bring the culture that I identify with into my home city.” 

Jungwirth explained how the event came to be.

“Two years ago, I came up with the plan,” he said. “I love going to festivals and concerts, so I wanted to make an impact on the community.”

Jungwirth explained the donations to the community that will come along with the event, and how many proceeds will go to organizations. 

“Habitat for Humanity will be there, and half of all of the alcohol sales I’m donating to them,” he said. “Also, income will be going to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.” 

Tickets for the event being sold online at the Valley Vinyl Instagram page for $75. 

The tickets are to be one entry fee, with no additional types of tickets. 

“We need to come back together as a community and it’s not about who has more money to buy one ticket versus another,” he said.

While the event is to hold beautiful music, fun vibes and good crowds, Jungwirth explained his main plan behind the event.

“I just want to reverberate through the entire festival, like love, energy and family,” he said. “If someone comes to Valley Vinyl and meets their new best friend, then I’ve won.” 

With the excitement that surrounds this event, along with a great community and great founder, Valley Vinyl is not an event you’d want to miss!
