America’s (Secretly) Best Festival is returning to Raleigh, NC in September. Hopscotch Music will come back September 8 – 10.
Festival-goers can expect to hear rock, pop, hip-hop, rock electronic, indie and much more. Fans can also expect to leave with the satisfaction of discovering new acts. Hopscotch Music Festival has been revered for its commitment to introduce music fans to underground culture and upcoming music acts.
There is not much else that ties the 140+ acts that will be featured in the festival. The artists have learned from a wide range of influencers, although there is one common denominator – many of these acts are notorious for not defining themselves by a simple style or convention that their peers conform to, but create their own sound, energy, and musical themes. Consequently, many of these acts have strayed across genres and contributed to erasing the wall that has separated the classifications of music.
The event will include performances on the outdoor main stage in Raleigh City Plaza and club shows with a more intimate atmosphere. Tickets are $165 for a 3-day pass and $225 for VIP passes. Check out the full lineup below.
