As previously announced, Kishi Bashi will headline opening night of the festival in the North Garden of the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum — a great venue that will host some of the higher-profile acts all three days — and then the festival will fan out from there. Lee Fields & The Expressions will headline at Ships of the Sea on Friday night.
Among the bigger names that were announced for the first time today are Julien Baker, A Tribe Called Red, Lewis Del Mar, Caveman, Weaves, and Tim Darcy.
