Now it’s time for us to give up the goods on the local lineup. As you’ll see below, it’s completely stacked to the rafters this year with all of your favorite homegrown acts, plus more that will be announced in the coming weeks. Page down to have a look, and if you haven’t already, be sure to pick up your tickets and then see if you can win a VIP upgrade.
