August 2025
All was silent on the 2025 front for Schellraiser, the micro music festival responsible for bringing some mammoth performers to their destination event outside of Ely, Nevada the past three years.
The Schellraiser Music Festival put itself on the map by consistently booking an insane lineup of indie, country, punk and adjacent styled bands and performers in a destination in eastern Nevada smack in the center of Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Boise and Reno/Lake Tahoe. Over its three years, performers such as Ladytron, Nikki Lane, Dinosaur Jr, We Are Scientists, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, Death Valley Girls, Old 97’s, Blonde Redhead, Murder By Death and The Raveonettes, amongst plenty of others, graced the Schellraiser stage, not to mention a handful of authors, artists, and late night spinoff events.
After going quiet for 2025, the festival has just announced a change of venue and change of name to suit the new location.
Humboldt Hideaway, calling itself the “Anti-festival Music Festival” is pulling up stakes and relocate to Northern Nevada next year where it’s set to take place in Wells, Nevada on May 29th and 30th of 2026.
Favoring an indie lineup with a refreshingly un-commercialized vibe, Humboldt Hideaway has named itself in reference to the mountain range that touches down near the town of Wells; mountains also filled with emerald colored hot spring pools, hiking trails to alpine lakes, ghost towns and some of the most scenic forests in the Silver State.
As of yet, the festival hasn’t announced their music lineup, however following Schellraiser’s run as one of our favorite annual music festivals, this one is definitely worth keeping on your radar…
