Their music often features introspective lyrics that touch on themes such as faith, doubt, and the human condition.

The second headliner, Blue October, has built a reputation for their intense and emotionally charged live performances. Justin Furstenfeld's stage presence is often described as captivating, as he pours his heart and soul into each performance, connecting deeply with the audience.

Their music often delves into themes of personal struggle, mental health, and relationships, with emotionally raw lyrics and intense musical arrangements. Blue October gained significant commercial success with their platinum-selling album "Foiled" (2006), which featured the hit single "Hate Me."
