VersoFest 2025: Four Days of Music, Media, and Creativity
Concerts | Panels | Workshops
April 3-6
VersoFest is The Westport Library’s annual music and media conference and festival where knowledge is shared and inspiration is discovered — a forum for media creators, artists, and fans to converge.
The Wallflowers, led by Jakob Dylan, are the headlining concert act on Friday, April 5, and this year’s guests include Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and National Book Award winner Patti Smith (with award-winning journalist Alisyn Camerota, Thursday, April 4), hip hop icon Black Thought of The Roots (with former music industry executive and community leader June Archer, April 5), legendary Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins (with Beggars Group Records President Nabil Ayers, also April 5), and David Letterman music director Paul Shaffer (with SNL Beehive Queen Chirstine Ohlman, Sunday, April 6).
There also will be a fun, family-friendly weekend kickoff event hosted by visionary artist 5iveFingaz, an all-star panel discussion on the 50thanniversary of Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run, a special VersoFest art exhibit, can’t-miss workshops, and much more. And come back Friday, April 18, to see the kickoff concert of the pioneering post-punk band Gang of Four’s farewell tour, preceded by a book talk between Gang of Four lead singer Jon King and Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club drummer Chris Frantz.
