The complete schedule for this weekend’s Macefield Music Festival, Ballard’s three-day festival packed full of excellent talent, is now on our Things To Do calendar.
Here’s Kelly O on why you should go:
“Oh, heeeyyy, Macefield Music Festival! Nice to see you again! Three years old already, huh? I love that your namesake is still badass granny Edith Macefield, who refused to sell her Ballard home to greedy developers. I also love that, unlike some other music festivals, especially the one that just happened, um, one month ago, your prices are still affordable for (non-tech-working) local music fans. I mean, $45 for a weekend pass is so reasonable. So is $25 (Friday) and $35 (Saturday) for a three-venue, 20-plus-band lineup.
The only thing I don’t love is how excellent Friday night’s lineup is. It’s TOO good. How can I possibly decide which to see—punk crazies Full Toilet, young rockers Fox and the Law, or reunited hippity-hoppers Don’t Talk to the Cops! Then, to make matters even harder, you put Blood Drugs at the same time as Thunderpussy and Steal Shit Do Drugs in the same time slot as Gifted Gab! Anyway, I still love you, Macefield. See you on Ballard Avenue!”
Our Macefield calendar has enough content to tide you over until the festival starts on Friday: complete schedules for all three days of the festival, recommendations and reviews from our critics, and links to hear the music from every artist who will be at the festival and to buy tickets. So get over there now, and bookmark it so you can use it as a handy guide when you’re at the festival this weekend.
