Midpoint Music Festival 2012 (Cincinnati, OH)

[Fourthisto]

I know, I know, not too many in the Midwest valley around here, but with a decent lineup this year this might be attractive for out-of-towners to come on down and visit. And for $69, you get:

Grizzly Bear
Andrew Bird
the Walkmen
Dinosaur Jr.
the Antlers
Sleigh Bells
Best Coast
Dirty Projectors
Tennis
Cloud Nothings
Craft Spells
Frankie Rose
Imperial Teen
Eternal Summers
Army Navy
Zeus
Seapony
Julia Holter
Hospitality
Wooden Wand
the Growlers
White Arrows
Willis Earl Beal
Tim Easton
Rich Aucoin
Lord Huron
Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys
Kitten
Stepdad
Hundred Waters
the Black Belles
Golden Boy
Holy Ghost Tent Revival
Hume
F. Stokes
Dirty Bourbon River Show
Sidewalk Chalk
Laetita Sadier
JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound

And 100+ more to be announced.

This is always a fun event, and pretty damn cheap for what you get.

Already got my ticket. Looks a whole lot better than that Bunbury festival here.

Great lineup! Wish I had something like that over here....

It's only a ten and a half hour drive...

Already got my ticket. Looks a whole lot better than that Bunbury festival here.

No doubt, definitely more diverse, interesting and... CHEAPER!

I've put together this zip file holding an Excel sheet to show details on the day-by-day MPMF schedule. There are three tabs, one for each day's creamery goodness. Enjoy planning out the festival as you see fit!
