Bunbury 2013 to Bring Fun., MGMT, The National, & more

The Bunbury Music Festival is coming back this summer with three more days of riverfront performances headlined by Fun., MGMT, and The National. Those of us that were in attendance last July have been eagerly awaiting today's announcement of the 2013 lineup.

The festival takes place this July 12-14 at Sawyer Point and Yeatman's Cove. As founder Bill Donabedian promised to us last week, the lineup is once again impressive and current. In addition to the headliners, festival-goers will see popular bands such as Youngblood Hawke, Cake, Sky Ferreira, Twenty | One | Pilots, Tegan & Sara, and Tokyo Police Club.

We are pleased to also see several notable local bands on the bill including Walk The Moon, Seabird, The Pinstripes, You, You're Awesome, and The Upset Victory. View the entire lineup below, or visit our Bunbury Festival 2013 schedule page.
