Macefield Music Festival Announces 2016 Lineup
Holy smokes, kids… somehow we slept on the Macefield Music Festival announcement late last month.
Macefield, now in it’s fourth year, is an independently run music event that takes place each fall in various venues in Ballard. It’s a great mix of national, regional, and local talent performing in small and mid-sized spaces over three days for a mere $45.
As always, the lineup features a bunch of our favorites (Fly Moon Royalty, Wimps) alongside unfamiliar names we’re excited to check out (Bali Girls, Miss Lonely Hearts, Stallion) and the now-customary Seattle music reunion act. Last year it was Sage, this year it’s Hazel…two bands we loved in their 90s heydays.
Even more exciting is that eight of the acts on our list of 41 Seattle Bands We’re Watching in 2016 will perform: Briana Marella, Mommy Long Legs, Wild Powwers, Maszer, Boyfriends, Evening Bell, DoNormaal, and Aeon Fux.
