In its tenth year, the annual Maha Music Festival will bring some big names to the metro.
Headlining the two day festival at Aksarben Village will be Grammy-winning rockers Weezer. Popular for their hits 'Buddy Holly,' 'Beverly Hills' and 'Undone (The Sweater Song),' Weezer has made a name for themselves as the coolest group of nerds and dorks to form a rock band.
Joining Weezer will be singer-songwriter Father John Misty and rock band TV On The Radio. The lineup also features indie rock duo The Kills and pop duo Tune-Yards, along with ZZ Ward, Benjamin Booker, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Ravyn Lenae, Hop Along, and U.S. Girls. Local acts State Disco, Clarence Tilton, Mesonjixx, David Nance Band, and The Dilla Kids round out the lineup.
For the first time since its inception, Maha will span two nights, Friday, August 17 from 5:00 PM to midnight and Saturday, August 18 from noon to midnight. The sixteen live acts will perform on two stages at Stinson Park in Aksarben Village. Two-day general admission passes are $90 and VIP packages are $290. Full details and passes are available here.
Nearly 700 volunteers are needed for the festival and free admission will be provided in exchange for working a shift. Public registration for volunteers opens April 28 at MahaMusicFestival.com.
