This Friday-Saturday-Sunday, Bunbury Music Festival takes over downtown for the third year in a row. With headliners Empire Of The Sun, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, and Flaming Lips, and tons of noteworthy undercards, everyone is sure to find something they like.

The festival takes place at the scenic Cincinnati parks of Sawyer Point & Yeatman’s cove, and is regarded as one of the best festival experiences due to its great location and friendly atmosphere. The lineup is dotted with national rockstars and local favorites.

We’ve been interviewing and previewing Bunbury artists since the lineup was announced, but the best advice we can give you is to explore the entire lineup for bands you’ve never heard of before. You’ll be surprised.
