The newly reunited Sunset Rubdown, newly returned Marnie Stern, and the ever-idiosyncratic Cassandra Jenkins are leading the pack, alongside foundational Montreal pop bands Stars and the Dears, who will perform a 20th anniversary double-feature of Set Yourself on Fire and No Cities Left.
Also among the acts hitting the stage at this year's iteration of the fest are Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Claire Rousay, Afternoon Bike Ride, Luna Li, Skratch Bastid, Iris DeMent, Mother Tongues, Nabihah Iqbal, Sheenah Ko, Still House Plants, the Barr Brothers, Unessential Oils, Mannie Fresh, Los Bitchos, KROY, Freak Heat Waves, Fernie, Calexico, Emilie Kahn, Alix Fernz, Homeshake and more.
