Northside Music Festival, which will take place June 13 – 16, 2013, will showcase nearly 350 bands. For the first time ever during Northside, the two McCarren Park concerts, on Saturday and Sunday, will be free. In addition to the 6,000-capacity McCarren Park space, there will be free music programming Saturday afternoon during Williamsburg Walks in the neighborhood epicenter, Bedford Avenue. All day Bedford will be closed off to car traffic from Metropolitan Avenue to McCarren Park and transformed into a public space with art, live music, food, and more.

This year’s lineup will include the first New York performance in 26 years of Greg Ginn‘s band Black Flag, featuring Jealous Again-era vocalist Ron Reyes. Other bands include Swans, Lambchop, Iceage, Son Volt, Rhys Chatham and Oneida (special collaboration), WHY?, Merchandise, Chelsea Wolfe, Twin Sister, The Soft Moon, Milk Music, Kisses, Lower, Destruction Unit, Good for You, Greg Ginn & the Royal We, and many more.
