I love MusicfestNW. We’ve given away ice cream up here for most of the past six years and some of my favorite shows all year happen then – AA Bondy, Gories, The Helio Sequence with Menomena, ++
The three big shows at Pioneer Square this year are Girl Talk, Beirut and Silversun Pickups. Crystal Ballroom will have two nights of Passion Pit, Tallest Man on Earth, and The Helio Sequence (new tunes!). Hot Snakes (with Red Fang), Old 97’s (Performing Too Far to Care), YelaWolf (Roll TIDE!) and Dino Jr./Sebadoh/J. Mascis will all be at Roseland. See below for the full lineup.
New this year will be Portland Digital eXperience (PDX), a tech component to the fest that I’m very excited about. I’ll be posting more info on PDX soon.
