As Megan noted last week, City Arts Fest has announced their lineup. Big acts this year are Robyn, Ryan Adams, Blackalicious, Ozomatli, Crystal Castles, and Built to Spill (a bit of a scaling back from last year's lofty Belle & Sebastian coup).

In other Robyn news, she can make Coldplay sound good:

Here is the skinny on tickets:

3-Day, All Access Wristbands starting at $69 on sale August 5th at 10 a.m

General admission wristbands will give you free access (on a first-come, first-served basis) to all Heineken City Arts Fest events and concerts.

You are free to move from venue to venue with no cover charge throughout the festival to see all the music and arts events on our schedule.

VIP wristbands allow you entry to the private opening night party on October 19th at Union Station, which will feature special live music guests and art installations, as well as food and a hosted bar, and the closing night event on October 22. VIP wristbands also gain you access to VIP-only areas at select venues during the festival. You also receive the coveted festival swag-bag full of goodness and cheer.

Single tickets to events go on sale August 24th at 9 a.m. Please consult the festival schedule page for link to individual show purchases at that time.

Many festival venues are 21+ and a wristband won’t allow you access into these venues. Our three largest venues, Benaroya Hall, Paramount and Moore Theater, are all-ages venues. Please review venues and event restrictions. You must be 21+ to purchase a VIP wristband.
