Your admission fee gets you into the entire 2 1/2 day event, beginning with the party on Friday night, so plan to arrive early! After a day of traveling and setting up, unwind with a few drinks and see some unique gear-centric performances. It's a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and make some new ones.
Those wishing only to attend the party on Friday night must still purchase a pass for the event.
Doors open at 6 pm, music starts at 7pm and runs until 11pm or so. Schedule TBD.

Feedback from previous Knobcons
As expected, a spectacular event
Learned a lot, laughed a ton, listened to good music, met great people and bought too much new gear. I have no complaints at all!
The whole thing was extremely enjoyable
I made more friends last weekend than I have in years that are in to the same stuff as me. Cheers to everyone involved in planning it!
Had a great time!
Even though I did not know anyone there, I was made to feel welcome and part of the gang.
Thanks for the awesome time everyone!
I saw tons of amazing things for the first time and met tons of cool people, not a bad one in the bunch!
Had a great time!
Learned a lot about modular synths and other gear. Enjoyed the "low-key" relaxed environment and the Knobcon staffers were helpful and very professional. Hope to make it back next year.
Knobcon was amazing!
Loved getting to try out the new and old gear. Everyone there was super cool, and I will definitely be back next year.
