Well y’all, Hopscotch just announced their lineup for the 2013 festival, and we are beyond excited. Uber-excited if you will. True to form, they’ve handpicked new and old (more seasoned) performers across pretty much every musical genre in existence. From rap to bluegrass, they molded a festival this year that in my opinion, will be the best yet. Throw up those coffee cups – here’s to September.
Below is Matt’s initial list of must-see bands. We’ll update this list once we’ve had a second to breathe and process all this information!
Get your tickets here – before all the cool kids snatch them up !
