Bold = Recommend.
No doubt that there are some major acts rolling through Raleigh in early September. These bold acts are just ones that I recognize as being worth your time. Some are not. Others [lots] I know nothing about and will be researching and most likely posting on the blog. Maybe a special...I don't want to over commit myself seeing as it would be a big task but definitely ones unknown to me that y'all should check it will be posted. Having some big names in music stopping by will no doubt create more of a buzz for the festival, one that could keep it a recurring end-of-summer jamfest or draw larger acts before the festival releases more names on April 12th.
Raleigh Venues Being Used
The Berkeley Cafe, Deep South the Bar, Five Star, The Hive at Busy Bee, Kings, Lincoln Theatre, The Pour House, Raleigh City Plaza, Slim’s and Tir Na Nog
Tickets
Admission for Hopscotch Music Festival is designed to suit a wide range of fans. Individual tickets for the shows in Raleigh City Plaza—on Friday, Sept. 10, featuring Panda Bear, Broken Social Scene and The Rosebuds; on Saturday, Sept. 11, featuring Public Enemy, No Age and The Love Language—cost $30 each. For $45, fans can buy a wristband that allows entry into all nine festival clubs for all three days. A limited number of $85 wristbands gain fans admission to both City Plaza shows and all clubs, saving $20 off of face value. A very limited number of $120 VIP wristbands are available.
