Hopscotch 2019 Lineup
The North Carolina music festival Hopscotch puts together a fantastic lineup annually, and this year’s is no exception. Sleater-Kinney will headline the festivities around Raleigh this September 5-7, with James Blake and Chvrches topping the other two days of Hopscotch’s 10th year. Pending any other announcements between now and then, it will be Sleater-Kinney’s first live show in almost two years, since the Music Tastes Good festival in Long Beach in October 2017. Hopefully this means that St. Vincent-produced S-K LP will be out before then.
Other big-font names include Kurt Vile, Jenny Lewis, Dirty Projectors, Little Brother, Phantogram, Raphael Saadiq, Snail Mail, !!!, and David Berman’s new project Purple Mountains. But wait! There’s more to the tune of JPEGMAFIA, Deerhunter, Lucy Dacus, Cate Le Bon, Channel Tres, Ryley Walker, Injury Reserve, Pharmakon, Wolf Eyes, Wild Pink, Spellling, Strange Ranger, David Nance Group… the list goes on. It is a good list. You should read it, and then you should consider attending Hopscotch this year.
Hopscotch takes place in multiple venues around Raleigh including Red Hat Amphitheater and City Plaza. Tickets are available here. More artists are expected to be announced later, but in the meantime, check out the full list below.
