2013 Lineup (so far!)
We pride ourselves on having the most diverse offering of entertainment around, because let's face it - being a music festival dedicated to just one musical genre is easy... From our main stage, the Sands Steel Stage at PNC Plaza (our only ticketed venue), to our dozen-or-so free stages that are spread across the city, the Musikfest is 10 days of almost non-stop music, from rock to pop to world music to the unclassifiable.
The 2013 lineup is still taking shape. Check back frequently for updates!
