The Village Voice has announced the initial line-up for the 2008 Siren Music Festival in New York, featuring Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks and Broken Social Scene.
The Siren Music Festival is an annual event sponsored by The Voice at New York’s Coney Island amusement park since 2001. Each year, the festival spotlights emergent and veteran indie artists, including last year’s performers the Black Lips and the New York Dolls.
This year’s event will take place July 19 from 12 noon to 9 p.m., and feature performers including The Helio Sequence, Beach House, Times New Viking and Annuals. As always, the all-ages festival boasts two performance stages and free admission, which often means a sizable number of festival attendees stumble upon it completely by accident.
The festival’s initial lineup was announced today, with more artists and DJs to be added soon. Stay tuned for more details…
Initial Lineup:
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Broken Social Scene, The Helio Sequence, Beach House, Times New Viking, Jaguar Love, The Dodos, Annuals, Film School, Parts & Labor, Dragons of Zynth, These Are Powers
