Homegrown by the Independent Weekly, the Hopscotch Music Festival gives the Triangle something new and noteworthy – an event that celebrates the area’s rich local talent by pairing it with an abundance of amazing national and international bands. Featuring just about every genre imaginable – rock, hip-hop, alt-country, metal, dance, punk, classical, noise, drone, folk, and more – the festival offers choices for every type of music fan. Linking 10 venues over three nights, including Friday and Saturday in City Plaza, the city’s premier public space, Hopscotch invites you to enjoy downtown Raleigh in a way you haven’t yet. With 120 bands at night, day parties thrown by local labels, a free cultural series at Raleigh City Museum, and other activities to come, finding fun will be easy from September 9 – 11^th.

Because of the relatively small size of our venues, 3-day wristbands are extremely limited.

Marissa Nadler adds shows and talks about ‘Portal of Sorrow’

“Portal of Sorrow, Xasthur’s new full length record, will be available in early April, featuring some vocal contributions by me. As soon as It is available, I will tell you where to find it. As seemingly disparate the worlds of ambient black metal and whatever it is you want to call my music are, this collaboration actually gels quite well. It is really dark and heavy and ethereal. Xasthur (rhymes with disaster) is a one man ambient black metal machine.” – Marissa Nadler
