I love Seattle. I hate Seattle traffic. I actively avoid trying to go into the city on any game days or event days. And then I curse the attendees who cause the accidents and traffic jams and consequently my road rage. This July I will be one of those attendees when I go to the 2015 Capitol Hill Block Party.
Only the partial lineup was revealed but it’s looking pretty impressive so far with Ratatat, TV on the Radio, The Kills, Toro Y Moi, Built to Spill, The Julie Ruin, Broods, Wye Oak, Flatbush Zombies, Jamie XX, Giraffage, Shabazz Palaces, DIIV, Com Truise, Deafheaven, Wet, Shannon And The Clams, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, The Flavr Blue, Sam Lachow, BADBADNOTGOOD, Lower Dens, Protomartyr, Daktyl, The Coathangers, Meatbodies, Chastity Belt, Ambassadeurs, Lost Lander, Kite String Tangle, The Wooden Sky, Smokey Brights, Industrial Revelation, Kinski, Crater, One Above None Below, Slow Bird, and Zoolab.
The Capitol Hill Block Party runs from July 24 until July 26 and I suggest you get your tickets before the rest of the lineup is revealed and prices go up. Three day passes are $99 until April 2, and go up to $125 until July 4, and then to $150 until July 26.
