Festival season is officially upon us. Black Hippy, Earl Sweatshirt, Kilo Kish, Black Dave, and more are rocking this year’s Downtown Festival in New York. The performances are scheduled for May 10 and May 11 at venues such as Mercury Lounge, Bowery Ballroom, Pianos, Cake Shop, to name a few.

Downtown Festival takes place in Manhattan’s Lower East Side where the artists will play intimate shows throughout the weekend. After New York, Downtown Festival will head to Philadelphia, Toronto, Boston, Los Angeles, Denver and Las Vegas for six additional dates. Each city will include its own specific line-up with their own emerging artists across different genres.
