Friends of Montgomery Hills is excited to welcome garage punk rock act Apollo 66 to the Street Fest 2024 stage for the first time this year! Apollo 66 will be blowing the doors off the Fest as its opening act during the 3:15-4:00 PM timeslot!

Formed in 2016 and based in the Washington DC, area, Apollo 66 plays garage punk rock ‘n’ roll to help you forget about the coming apocalypse, and stomp your feet, clap your hands, and shout “Wooo!” Their music fits somewhere in the space-time-continuum of the Sonics, the Cramps, Misfits, Dick Dale and Link Wray with an occasional touch of Beatles-inspired harmonies.
