KEXP is proud to support Pickathon and happy to announce the release of this year's daily schedule. The three-day festival at Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, OR (very close to Portland), on August 2-4, includes performances by over 45 artists on 7 stages, but one of its most unique features is that every artist plays at least twice. Once on one of the two main stages and again at one of the more exotic locales like the nest-like Woods Stage or the rustic Galaxy Barn, you'll find artists from one of Pickathon's most diverse lineups yet, with Feist, Divine Fits, Andrew Bird, Sharon Van Etten, Kurt Vile & The Violators, Parquet Courts, Ty Segall, Shabazz Palaces, Foxygen, Howe Gelb, Sallie Ford and The Sound Outside, among many others.
You can check out the newly released schedule here.
And if you haven't gotten yours yet, a limited number of single day tickets have also been released and all-weekend passes are still available here... but the festival does sell out every year, so don't wait too long!
