Music Fest NW Lineup Announced

If it’s summer, you can count on two things. First, it’s going to be too hot. Second, every single day from the Summer Solstice to the autumnal equinox, a new music festival will be announced.

Today’s entry into the ever-growing list of summer music festivals is Musicfest NW, the 1,203,087th festival of the summer. Sponsored by the local alternative rag The Willamette Week, MFNW will run from Sept. 6-9 and benefit The Oregon Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame & The Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls.

The fest has assembled quite a line-up this year, including Spoon, Clipse, Wolf Parade, Okkervil River, Patterson Hood, Grizzly Bear and a whole crapload of other bands. Girl Talk is also playing, but since the hotly-tipped mash-up artist is playing nearly every festival this summer, that shouldn't come as a surprise. MFNW will take place at a variety of venues in the Portland area. You can find the complete list of bands and venues below.
