The Bunbury Music Festival, a relative noob on the festival circuit from Cincinnati, has announced the lineup for its fourth iteration, featuring The Black Keys, the Avett Brothers and Snoop Dogg as its headliners (from Consequence of Sound).
The festival has continued to grow, at least in terms of the impressiveness of its headliners, in each of its four years.
"We feel that this year features a diverse lineup of artists that it hasn't had in the past," said Marissa Luther, marketing director at PromoWest Productions, to Cincinnati.com. "We think this will open it up to new, future fans."
PromoWest also announced that this year's festival would feature two main stages and two side stages, versus the previous renditions that have had one main stage and five side stages.
The festival takes place on the banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, and will go down between June 5-7 this year. Tickets are on sale now. Previous attendees may have noticed that this year's event is about a year earlier than last's...although Bunbury typically takes place mid-July, Cincinnati will also be hosting the MLB All Star Game this summer, making it necessary to move the music festival up a tad. The Reds will also presumably be hosting the World Series later in the year*.
Check out the rest of the lineup below (further local acts will be added nearer to the event).
Brand New, Tame Impala, The Decemberists, Old Crow Medicine Show, twenty one pilots, Walk the Moon, Matt and Kim, Bleachers, Royal Blood, Manchester Orchestra, Father John Misty, Atmosphere, Temples, Shakey Graves, Kacey Musgraves, The Devil Makes Three, Reverend Horton Heat, Lindsey Stirling, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Jamestown Revival, Mikky Ekko, The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, Mini Mansions, The Front Bottoms, Jessica Hernandez, Secret Sisters, Lil Dicky, machineheart, Multimagic, Buggs Tha Rocka, Go Analog, Bummers, Indigo Wild, Markham
