The Hopscotch Music Festival is back for its 14th edition — three days packed with live music on city streets and in downtown Raleigh clubs.
This year’s lineup features an eclectic mix of artists across genres and styles that has become the festival’s tradition. Plus, there is a comedy stage, a skateboard pop-up competition on Martin Street and even a free Totscotch concert for the little ones near Marbles Kids Museum.
Crowds of music lovers will shuffle from stage to stage, club to club, soaking up what has become one of Raleigh’s signature events.
Headliners include St. Vincent (for her second time at Hopscotch), Waxahatchee (for her third appearance), Faye Webster, MJ Lenderman and the Wind, Guided by Voices, Snail Mail and Indigo De Souza.
Here are photos from some of the performances. Check back, as this gallery will be updated through the weekend.
