There is an exciting revelation to the J-Fest music festival this year, and it’s that the end is not really the end.
“Normally, the fireworks would be a fireworks finale, but not this year,” says Ted Gocke, the festival’s organizer and an on-air presenter with Christian radio station J-103.

Instead, the pyrotechnics will lead into a performance by Washington D.C.-based Christian electronic dance music/hip-hop duo Capital Kings. J-103, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, doesn’t feature the band prominently in its circulation, Gocke says, but they are popular on the station’s Internet radio offshoot, jRadio.
“We thought, ‘The kids love it — they’re screaming for it– so why not give it to them?'” Gocke says.
