It doesn’t matter if you’re a rock, roots or hip-hop fan — the Evolution Music Festival has got something just for you.
Taking place Aug. 26-27 at Forest Park in St. Louis, MO, the inaugural extravaganza is bringing in a sonically diverse group of headliners to celebrate all weekend long.
Just a few of the major names on this year’s bill include The Black Keys, Brandi Carlile, Ice Cube, The Black Crowes and Brittany Howard from The Alabama Shakes.
They’ll be joined by Ben Harper, Morgan Wade, Modern English, Cautious Clay and Nikki Lane.
And yes, The Sugarhill Gang is scheduled to take the stage as well.
Best of all though, tickets are shockingly affordable for the star-studded affair.
At the time of publication, we found some two-day general admission passes going for as low as $110 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Not a bad price to catch stars from yesterday, today and tomorrow live.
