context_page_description: Fortress Festival is an annual music festival held in the Cultural District of Fort Worth, Texas on the last weekend in April. The event is held on the grounds of the Will Rogers Memorial Center, and is produced by Fort Worth-based company Fortress Presents in partnership with the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, which also served as one of the event's venues in its first two years.
  Since its inception in 2017, Fortress Festival has sought to curate an eclectic mix of national, regional and local musical acts that reflect Fort Worth's diverse community and true artistic character. This is represented in lineups that contain a variety of genres, including Indie Rock, Pop, Rap, Hip hop, R&B, Soul, Punk and others. Additionally, Fortress Festival has been recognized by the press as part of a small number of festivals worldwide for lineups that include a notable number of female artists across the bill.
  On April 10, 2020, festival organizers announced that the event would not be held that year due to the coronavirus pandemic - while announcing that the festival is expected to be continued on April 24-25, 2021 with the majority of the artists in the 2020 lineup.
