Tomorrow Never Knows Announces Their 2015 Lineup

TNK_600px.jpg

Yesterday, the latest iteration of the annual Tomorrow Never Knows festival was announced and it'll take place this upcoming January at venues scattered throughout the city. Tomorrow Never Knows is well regarded for their smart and eclectic booking, with past acts ranging from The Orwells to Oneohtrix Point Never. This year seems to somewhat indie rock-centric but true to form, with Cloud Nothings and Zola Jesus both scheduled as headlining performers.

The full lineup includes Cloud Nothings, Jukebox the Ghost, The Both, Kishi Bashi, String Quartet, Zola Jesus, Strand of Oaks, Hamilton Leithauser of the Walkmen, The Grifters, Operators, The Family Crest, Alvvays, Protomartyr, Pup, Twin Forks, Lia Ices, Kevin Morby, Heat, Blank Rang, Spider Bags, Sun Club, Lowell, The Whistles & The Bells, Your Friend and Turn to Crime. In addition, comedians Tim Heidecker, Cameron Esposito, Joe Mande and Sara Schaefer will perform at the Hideout.

Tickets for individual shows go on sale on Friday and can be found at the newly designed Lincoln Hall / Schubas website. A pass for the complete festival is currently for sale for $100 and can be found there as well.

As you wait for wait for January, check out a few of the bands playing at Tomorrow Never Knows early next year.
