Virgin Mobile FreeFest lineup announced
Virgin Mobile and Samsung Mobile have released the lineup for this year’s FreeFest. Good news for people who like EDM music: Most of the lineup is geared toward you.
This year’s lineup appears much smaller than years past, and also seems to be lacking its token hip-hop and nostalgia acts. Maybe there is more to come?
Best Bets: Concerts you should probably check out
Wale returns home to Howard Theatre on Sunday.

MusicfestNW has an awesome lineup
In the ever-growing field of summer music festivals, MusicfestNW has managed to do the impossible: curate a lineup that is actually different from the 97 other festivals planned for this summer. We really like the attention paid to smaller indie artists and buzz bands. Of course, a festival this cool can only happen in Portlandia–may be worth the trip.
Highlights include: Animal Collective, Diplo, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Fred Armisen, Deerhunter, Charles Bradley, Chvrches, Joey Bada$$, Icona Pop, Youth Lagoon, !!!, Washed Out, the Thermals, Titus Andronicus, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, FIDLAR, Bleached and so many more.
