“Names”, you’ve demanded; “Give us the names.”
“Where’s that lineup?” we’ve heard you ask. Many (many) times.
Well, we’ve got great news and good news and not-surprising news.
The great news? Our 2017 lineup is all ready to roll: a jam-hot collection of legends, party-starters and musical renegades.
The not-surprising news? It’s not *quite* ready to announce just yet: we’re waiting for the appropriate permits and go-aheads that will let us share – but rest assured it’s coming very, very soon.
Which brings us to good news.
I – We’re playing a fun little game with you all. Hidden in this illustration below are 25 names from the 2017 Concrete & Grass lineup. Give us your best guess for a chance to win free tickets to the ‘Grass!
II – We’re opening regular Advance Tickets for Concrete & Grass Right. This. Very. Instant! You can grab them from your ticket provider of choice: Damai (CN), or 24/7 (EN) or Smart Ticket (EN). Scroll down for links and QR codes.
WAIT, WHAT?
