HT Giveaway: Catalpa NYC Music Fest

HT faves Umphrey’s McGee, The Black Keys, TV on the Radio and Cold War Kids will join dozens of bands on Randall’s Island in New York City from July 28 to 29 for the first-ever Catalpa NYC Music Fest. The new event boasts an eclectic lineup featuring over 40 performers from many musical genres including blues, rock, hip-hop, electronic, reggae and indie.

In addition to the music, Catalpa organizers will debut a structure known as “The Afterburner” as part of the Arcadia Spectacular art installation at the site as well as the 60 ft. inflatable Frisky’s Church of Sham Marriages if you feel the sudden urge to get hitched. There will also be a Silent Disco Tent, a Reggae Stage curated by High Times and A Taste of New York featuring food vendors from the city’s top quality eateries.

While tickets are currently available through the festival’s website, we’ve got a pair of tickets to giveaway as part of our Everybody Wins When We Plug Something And In Return They Offer Us Free Shit To Give Away program. To enter our contest, simply leave a comment below telling us which band you’d be most excited to see at Catalpa and why.
