Rock Out at Upheaval: Your Home Base at Waters House Apartments

Summer in Grand Rapids is synonymous with outdoor adventures, local craft beer, and incredible live music. For rock and metal fans, the absolute pinnacle of the season is just around the corner: Upheaval Festival is back, and it’s happening right in our neighborhood.

If you love live music and want to be at the center of the city's best events, there is no better place to call home than the Waters House apartment community.

The Ultimate Rock Weekend at Belknap Park

On July 17th and 18th, Belknap Park will be transformed into Michigan's premier rock destination. Upheaval Festival is bringing a massive lineup to Grand Rapids, drawing fans from all over the Midwest.

This year's headliners are guaranteed to shake the city:

• Friday, July 17: Heavy metal titans Gojira will close out the first night with their signature crushing riffs and stunning visuals.

• Saturday, July 18: The iconic Papa Roach takes the main stage, ready to deliver a high-energy set packed with anthems you know every word to.

Whether you're going for a single day or have weekend VIP passes, it’s going to be an unforgettable weekend of heavy music, great local food, and community energy. You can grab your tickets and check out the full lineup at upheavalfest.com.

Skip the Traffic, Keep the Energy

One of the biggest hassles of any music festival is the logistics: navigating road closures, paying premium prices for event parking, and sitting in gridlock when the final act finishes.

When you live at Waters House, you get to skip all of that. Located just a short distance from Belknap Park, our community offers the ultimate convenience for festival-goers. You can easily catch a quick rideshare, pedal over on your bike, or even take a scenic walk to the festival gates. Spend less time worrying about your car and more time rushing the barricade to see your favorite bands.

Recharge at Waters House

After a long day of standing in the sun, navigating crowds, and singing until you lose your voice, you need a comfortable place to crash and recover.

Waters House is designed to be your quiet oasis in the heart of Grand Rapids. Our modern apartments offer spacious layouts, comfortable living areas, and the perfect environment to relax and recharge before doing it all over again on Saturday. Enjoy a quiet morning coffee in a beautifully designed space, take advantage of our community amenities, and get ready for day two of the festival feeling completely refreshed.

Upheaval Festival is just one of the incredible events that make living in Grand Rapids so special. At Waters House, you aren't just renting an apartment; you are choosing a lifestyle that puts you minutes away from the city's best parks, entertainment venues, and cultural hotspots.
