With all this rain and general dreariness, what better than thoughts of a music festival to lift us out of the winter doldrums?
The Sweetlife Festival announced its May 14 lineup today, and it’s got a host of up-and-coming artists from a range of genres, plus ‘80s favorite Blondie.
So far, you can expect to see pop headliners The 1975 and Halsey, electronica queen Grimes, Drake protégé PartyNextDoor and Eagles of Death Metal, whose Paris concert at the Bataclan last November became the site of a horrific terrorist attack.
Though last year’s festival stretched to two days, this Sweetlife will return to just one, with tickets costing $100 for general admission and $150 for VIP. Plus, since the festival is the creation of Sweetgreen, the DIY salad sensation, there will be great eats from the likes of our James Beard-award-winning Spike Gjerde and Maketto’s Erik Bruner-Yang.
Tickets for the festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through Ticketfly, and presale starts on Wednesday, also at 10 a.m. (Tip: Follow Sweetgreen on Twitter for an access code.)
Now, we’re dreaming of shedding our sweaters and boots, and feeling the grass on our toes.
