About T1 Fest
T1 Fest was started by Jim Costanzo (Punkhead Records) and friend Joe Inglima when Joe’s son was diagnosed at age three with Type 1 diabetes, also known as T1D. The first fest was held in 2019 with performances by Smoking Popes, The Lillingtons, Brendan Kelly (Lawrence Arms), Flatfoot 56, The Brokedowns, Dan Vapid & The Cheats, and many more.
In 2020, the festival hosted a special livestream during the COVID-19 pandemic with artists like Dan Vapid (Sludgeworth, Riverdales, The Methadones), Jen Pop and Poli van Dam (The Bombpops), and Haley and The Crushers.
After a year hiatus, the festival returned in 2022 with The Methadones (marking their first show in over 8 years), Nerf Herder, Direct Hit!, Tightwire, Josh Caterer Trio, and Dan Vapid & The Cheats.
“Our goal is to make a difference using the power of music and community to bring people together to create awareness for Type 1 Diabetes. By fostering a sense of community, we seek to uplift, educate, and empower fans to become advocates for change. [And] live in a world where everyone with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes – no matter where they live – has everything they need to survive.” – Jim Costanzo, T1 Fest Founder & Capgun Heroes Bassist
