Lovers of local music are in for a treat this summer. A mini-festival called “Lawrence Field Day Festival” is coming to Downtown Lawrence this July.
Hawk got to work recruiting the locals. Although the full lineup hasn’t been finalized yet, here’s a look at some of the local acts you can expect to see (more names will be announced later):
Radkey
The ACBs
Panda Circus
The Sluts
Deco Auto
JabberJosh
Approach
Busted Open
Doubleplus
Stiff Middle Fingers
Many Moods of Dad
Radar Defender
Hawk also hinted at some outdoor activities in an effort to make it “a big Summer party.” “It’s all about giving people who are still around Lawrence something to do,” says Hawk. “It’s a festival for the townies, people who actually live in Lawrence and enjoy it over the Summer.
To check out the festival, head down to the Bottleneck on July 6th and 7th. A pre-party is planned at the Jackpot on the 5th, featuring The 7 Degrees of Stephen Egerton (guitarist for Descendents/ALL) and Drag the River.
