Hopscotch Festival Announces 2018 Lineup

Hopscotch Music Festival returns for its ninth year to downtown Raleigh, N.C., Sept. 6-8. Described as “America’s (secretly) best festival” and “the premiere experimental and underground festival in America,” Hopscotch features over 120 acts performing within Raleigh’s walkable downtown footprint.

This year’s main stage headliners will be Miguel, Grizzly Bear, Belle & Sebastian, MC50 performing MC5’s ‘Kick out the Jams’, and more. Full main stage bills will be released later this summer.

All remaining VIP and 3-Day passes are on sale Friday, May 18 at 10 a.m. through www.hopscotchmusicfest.com and www.etix.com. 1-Day passes will go on sale later this summer.

Hopscotch is programmed by executive director Nathan Price. Grant Lyman, President of Live Nation Carolinas, the company that is responsible for the city-owned Red Hat Amphitheater’s calendar, worked closely with Price to program the main stage bills.

VIP and 3-Day passes are on sale Friday, May 18 at 10 a.m. at www.hopscotchmusicfest.com/tickets. Each of these passes allows entry into all festival clubs, three City Plaza headlining shows, and three Red Hat Amphitheater headlining shows. Single show passes for all City Plaza and Red Hat shows as well as 1-Day passes will go on sale later this summer. Passes and tickets are limited.
