In only four years, Hopscotch (www.hopscotchmusicfest.com) has become one of America’s most talked about weekends for music. Known for its eclectic mix of styles—from insurgent hip-hop and very heavy metal to classic indie rock and traditional folk, and from bleeding-edge experimental music to party-starting dance music—Hopscotch has proven itself to be a destination for enthusiastic and adventurous listeners. In fact, ahead of last year’s festival, Pitchfork named Hopscotch one of the summer’s “essential” music festivals, while The New York Times lauded the lineup as “incredibly diverse.” When the festival ended, Spin wrote, “Hopscotch Music Festival is one of the best and weirdest music festivals in America.”
Located in the heart of downtown Raleigh, N.C., each of Hopscotch’s 15 venues are within walking distance of one another. Fans are encouraged to hop around from club to club, exploring and experiencing all the festival has to offer—day parties, incredible nights of music, discussions between musicians and music critics, poster art shows, bike races, charity events and so much more.
This Sept. 5–7 in downtown Raleigh, come join the thousands of enthusiasts who help make Hopscotch Music Festival so amazing year after year. Check out our past line-ups, and visit our website at hopscotchmusicfest.com for more information on how to join the fun. Tickets go on sale for Hopscotch 2013 on February 1, at 10 a.m.
