The Hopcotch Music Festival line-up is here!

The big news is in! The massive 10-venue Hopscotch Music Festival organized by The Independent Weekly, coming to downtown Raleigh on Sept. 9, 10 and 11, has announced the bulk of its line-up, including some big headliners.

The big events will take place in City Plaza on Friday and Saturday nights. Friday night's headliners will be Broken Social Scene and Panda Bear along with The Rosebuds. Saturday night's headliner is iconic rap group Public Enemy backed by a full band. No Age and The Love Language are also on the bill that night.

That alone is insane, but it's much bigger than that. There will be shows each night spread across 8 blocks. The venues are the aforementioned City Plaza, The Berkley Cafe, Deep South Bar, Five Star, The Hive at Busy Bee, Kings (at it's new location on Martin Street), Lincoln Theatre, The Pour House, Slim's and Tir Na Nog.

When it's all said and done, there should be more than 110 bands playing. Check out the 95 bands announced so far below which includes tons of the best local acts as well as amazing national acts. Peruse and get excited.

3-day passes for all venues will be $85 and VIP wristbands including line-skip privileges and access to a Sept. 9 kick-off party will be $120. A 3-day pass to just the club shows (everything but the City Plaza shows) will be just $45. Individual tickets to each of the big show at City Plaza will be $30.

Tickets will be available on etix on Thursday, April 1 (no foolin').

That's a lot of info to take, but don't fret. You have five months to let it all sink in. Just don't wait that long to get your tickets.
