Four Chord Music Fest was founded by Rishi Bahl in 2014. The festival started in a small venue before growing and moving to its present stage. The founder spoke about the festival in an exclusive interview with Pop Punk Dad on September 3, 2022, responding to a question about how he came up with the idea for the festival:

"There are a lot of answers here, but mainly 2 ways: 1) Warped Tour seemed to be on the back half of its life and did not want that same spirit of punk rock and community to go away with it (especially in Pittsburgh)."

The founder continued:

"2) I was noticing it was getting harder and harder for smaller bands to get on tours or on shows with larger bands and wanted to try to create an avenue for those smaller bands."

Bahl also discussed why Four Chord Music Fest switched from a one-day event to a two-day schedule:

"I think it was a financial decision. Spreading out costs over 2 days can make it a bit easier, even though you increase your risk...When I grew up, it was kind of ok to love Blink and Bad Religion. However, not everyone thinks that, so separating the days was an attempt to let the punk fans have their day, and the pop-punk/emo fans have theirs."

Rishi Bahl also talked about the state of festivals in general, stating that he felt there were too many festivals in response to a question about bands setting up their own festival:

"I think there are too many festivals. The oversaturation is causing festivals to self-cannibalize each other for potential concertgoers. We have 4-5 festivals of the same genre happening all on the same weekend as Four Chord. I am all for creating new opportunities for bands and fans, but there will come a point where the market will be too diluted and the market will shrink."

Four Chord Music Fest has previously featured performances by acts such as Bad Religion, Destroy Boys, A Summer High, Less Than Jake, Yellowcard, and The Gaslight Anthem, among others.
