Sunset Junction Line-Up Fills Up
Earlier this month, the Sunset Junction Music Festival announced the headliners for their 28th annual street fete, which takes place on August 23 and 24.
Now, the rest of the schedule has been announced with many excellent local indie bands including Radars in the Sky, Happy Hollows, Castledoor, Jonathan Rice, Henry Clay People, Oliver Future and Gram Rabbit.
For a more r&b/world with a local twist, there's plenty as the festival is featuring Chana, Nikhil Korula Band, Vilma Diaz, Cava, Jeane Carne, Pharaoh's Daughter and J*DaVeY, among others. The great Sister Nancy will be visiting from Jamaica.
Headliners, already announced, include the Cold War Kids, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Issac Hayes, Kinky, Broken Social Scene and The Black Keyes
