Hopscotch Music Festival announces lineup, headliners for Raleigh concerts. What we know

Concert-goers listen to Parquet Courts play Moore Square in Raleigh during the third day of the Hopscotch Music Festival Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021.

A slew of indie fusion artists are set to hit downtown Raleigh next month at the 12th annual Hopscotch Music Festival.

Organizers recently announced the headliners and acts for the festival that’s set for Sept. 8 to 10.

Headliners for the three-day event include bedroom pop artists Perfume Genius, Sonic Youth alum and art-punk soloist Kim Gordon, Australian singer/songwriter Courtney Barnett and Davy Crockett’s distant relative, Charley Crockett.

Other notable acts include jazz fusion artist Makaya McCraven, R&B and electronica blender Dawn Richards and Cactus Lee, fresh off the release of his new EP “Perfect Middle Hall.”

Organizers have not announced specific locations for the festival. Last year, Hopscotch was held entirely oudoors with stages at City Plaza on Fayetteville Street and at Moore Square. Twenty-eight acts were staggered across both stages so attendees could hear all of the artists.

The festival will also feature an open-air art market in Moore Square in partnership with Pop-Up Raleigh, according to Hopscotch’s website. While the names of the specific vendors have not yet been released, the event’s lineup stated that additional acts and vendors would be announced closer to the event.

Three-day general admission tickets start at $175 per wristband, while VIP passes begin at $299 per wristband (before fees). Advanced, verified tickets are available exclusively through Etix. Hopscotch’s website states there will be an in-person box office called Wristband City.
