Never Say Never Festival was an annual music festival which began March 18, 2009, in Mission, Texas.[1][2] The festival featured bands of many different genres. The first Never Say Never festival hosted 30 bands on 2 stages,[1] including Forever the Sickest Kids, Anarbor, NeverShoutNever!, A Skylit Drive, Drop Dead, Gorgeous, LMFAO and The Scene Aesthetic. It also hosted local bands, such as The Requested, The Critically Acclaimed, Last Action Hero, Scarlett O' Hara (band), and Fallen Empire.

The 2010 and 2011 festivals followed on March 17, 2010[1] and March 15, 2011.[2]

Naming The Festival

The name "Never Say Never" was chosen by festival organizers Zar Castillo and George Culberson in response to all the people that told them that they would never be able to bring down incredible bands to South Texas.

2010 Festival

The 2010 festival was held on March 17, 2010.[1] It hosted 40 bands of different genres on 3 stages. The festival featured a vendor village, that hosted shops like Monikapolitan.com and 11eleven apparel.

2016 Controversy and Demise

The final Never Say Never Festival took place on March 16th, 2016 at Las Palmas Racepark in Mission, TX. The festival was marred by technical issues, high-risk investments and low attendance which resulted in many of the artists having their set times cut short and not being paid for their performances.
