Fresh off their national TV appearance on “Late Night With Seth Myers,” L.A. rockers Bleached have been added as the Saturday night headliner on the main stage (outdoors) at Echo Park Rising.
The free festival runs from Thursday, Aug. 18 to Sunday, Aug. 21. VIP packages are being sold that allow patrons to skip lines and give special access to bars and viewing areas.
The outdoor stage, located behind Taix, will feature headliners Chicano Batman on Friday, along with Thee Commons, Prettiest Eyes, Winter and Solar Sons. The Saturday lineup boasts Bleached, La Luz, Froth, Feels, SWIMM, Drinking Flowers, Korey Dane and more.
Much of the schedule is still tentative (and set times will come later), but the festival kicks off in a big way Thursday night, with shows at the Echo and Echoplex featuring a reunited Dios, along with the likes of Egyptian Lover, the Frights, Mind Meld and Pale Blue, with DJ sets from Finetime, Downtown Lobby and Restless Nites on the patio. Shows at the Lost Knight and the Lost Room will feature the likes of King Washington, DreamVacation and Forest.
Friday will bring Colleen Green, Roses, Bloodboy and more to the SESAC Stage in the Taix Champagne Room, while Dear Boy, Part Time, Rainbow Arabia, T.O.L.D. and Chastity Belt will be among the bands playing the Echo and Echoplex. Miles Tackett, Liv Slingerland and Emerson Star are among the acts playing down the street at the Lost Knight and the Lost Room.
The Buzz Bands LA Stage on Saturday in the Taix Champagne Room boasts a lineup of Adult Books, KOLARS, Moon Honey, Cellars, Fakers, Brit Manor, Warby Jets, Butch Bastard and Bart Davenport.
The Saturday night bill at the Echo and Echoplex features the likes of the Weirdos, Sex Stains, Harriet Brown, Air Life and Globelamp, while the Blank Tapes, Jail Weddings and Wet & Reckless highlight the fare at the Lost Knight.
The Grand Ole Echo Patio Stage, on both Saturday and Sunday, features a remarkable lineup of roots/Americana/country artists, including Brian Whelan, Drug Cabin, Gold Star, GospelbeacH, Mapache and Ivory Deville.
The festival ends with a roar on Sunday, with shows at the Echo and Echoplex featuring Meatbodies, Lovely Bad Things, Creation Factory, Wyatt Blair, Barrows and more.
Full lineup and set times are still to come.
