Festival season is still going and we are here for it

While summer might be festival season in terms of ~bohemian~ clothing trends, September is the Triangle’s month for listening to live music.

For future festival-goers, here are all of the festivals that will be happening this month. They feature a variety of artists, so even the most obscure of music tastes will be pleased with these line-ups.

Hopscotch Music Festival

General admission wristband $199

Hopscotch is North Carolina’s largest music festival, bringing artists from the state and around the world to Raleigh.

The four-day festival features 120 bands playing a variety of venues, ranging from the Red Hat Amphitheater to local clubs like Kings and Deep South The Bar.

Solange is headlining, along with Run The Jewels, Future Islands and Big Boi.

Apex Music Festival

Sept. 16

General admission $10

The Apex Music Festival features multiple bands from in and around the Triangle in addition to touring acts. 

If you’re a legal fan of adult beverages, this festival is for you.

But fear not! There will also be bands playing in local and outdoor venues along Apex’s Salem Street.

There will also be a variety of food vendors, like Mac-Ur-Roni and Oak City Fish and Chips.

As the most local of September festivals, the Carrboro Music Festival is celebrating their 20th year with around 190 bands in venues across Carrboro.
