Hopscotch Music Festival, Raleigh’s very own music festival since 2010, is once again taking place this year. With an amazing lineup including stars like Courtney Barnett, Perfume Genius and Black Country, New Road, this three-day festival will be sure to impress once again.
Although spending money on a three-day festival may be out of reach for many people, Hopscotch has a wonderful (and free) component to their festival: day parties. There are over 37 day parties scheduled from Thursday, September 8 through Sunday, September 11. The venues that these parties take place at are scattered throughout Raleigh at venues including (but not limited to) Boxcar Bar + Arcade, Ruby Deluxe, The Pour House, The Night Rider, Schoolkids Records and more. For the full schedule, see Hopscotch’s website.
The best part is, WKNC along with NC State University Libraries are hosting their very own Hopscotch day party at the Hillsborough Street entrance of DH Hill Library from 1 PM to 3 PM on Thursday, September 8. Kenny Wavinson, Max Gowan and Tiger Beach will be performing. Kenny Wavinson will be on at 1 PM, Max Gowan will be on at 2 PM and Tiger Beach will be on at 3 PM.
Day parties are an amazing opportunity to discover new music, meet new people, and create community with your neighbors in the beautiful Oak City. Support your local businesses, artists and radio stations by attending a Hopscotch day party (or 10).
We hope to see you there.
Plover sat down with Sk the Novelist along with Cosmo, Lord D Rock, 3amsound, Anderson Burrus, and Vex to discuss Sk’s upcoming album and the release show they’ll be performing, also touching on the Pour House’s impact on the Raleigh hip-hop scene and The Game’s new album.
Plover and CFR Council mastermind Ryan O’Doud talked about their upcoming festival American Babylon 6 which will be at Panther Lake on September 2-5. They discussed the DIY and sub-underground scene that is represented in the festival as well as the impact of the internet on creating musical communities and the unique vibes of forest concerts.
