NastyFest XIII is more than just a music festival—it’s a celebration of brotherhood, legacy, and the enduring spirit of Allen “Nasty” Dillard, co-founder of the Plug Uglies Wrecking Crew. Every year, we come together to honor Allen’s memory and the passion that fueled the creation of our club. Founded on October 15, 2011, by best friends and bandmates Chad Sheppard and Allen Nasty, the Plug Uglies Wrecking Crew was built on the values of loyalty, family, and standing up for what’s right. Allen’s love for music and unwavering dedication to his brothers shaped the culture of the Plug Uglies from day one. After his unexpected passing in March 2012, NastyFest was established as an annual tradition to celebrate his life, his contributions, and the powerful community he helped forge. Allen’s influence on the club and everyone who knew him is immeasurable. He was more than a leader—he was a brother who lived by the principles of honesty, loyalty, and fierce love for those he considered family. Music was always at the core of his life, and through NastyFest, we keep that spirit alive with the same raw energy and punk rock ethos that defined him. This festival isn’t just about the bands or the party—it’s about coming together to remember the man who inspired us to be better, to stand together, and to build a home for anyone who shares our values. Allen’s legacy lives on through every note played, every story shared, and every person who walks through the doors of NastyFest.
