As of right now, no schedule has been released and all that is known are the daily lineups. Aside from somewhat obvious picks such as Snoop Dogg, Washed Out, and Action Bronson, I find myself excited about some of the local acts I've been meaning to check out that are the bill such as Alex Wiley, Wild Belle, and Saba. In other news, they also announced the list of after parties and related events. The one the that looks most intriguing is Mount Kimbie supported by Fujiya & Miyagi at the Concord. The list of the after parties can be found here.
