FINAL SCHEDULE FOR TOUCH AND GO 25TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION AT THE 10TH ANNUAL HIDEOUT BLOCK PARTY ANNOUNCED

What started out as a genuine attempt to keep people informed has turned into something that resembles a weekly newsletter. We’re sorry we keep piling on the info, but when we’ve got news, we just need to share it.

Once we had the band line-up in cement, it only made sense to determine when these bands would actually play. After much head-scratching, brow-furrowing, and hand-wringing we’ve finally got a schedule. Without further ado (but subject to change without notice):

Friday, September 8
9:00pm !!!
8:00pm Ted Leo + Pharmacists
7:00pm Girls Against Boys
6:00pm Supersystem
5:00pm The Shipping News

Saturday, September 9

8:40pm Big Black
7:45pm Man…or Astroman?
6:50pm Scratch Acid

5:40pm PW Long
4:55pm Didjits

2:55pm The Ex
2:35pm Tim & Andy (Silkworm)

1:00pm Quasi

Yes, we know…these times are insanely precise. We’d like nothing more than for the festival to run exactly as listed, but with 30 performances on two stages over three days, there’s bound to be some overrun.

God Damn it!

I really wish I could find the time and money to go...

Holy shit, what a saturday!

see yall there.

I wish the Shipping News and Ted Leo were playing closer together.

I might leave and come back on Sunday. I aam going to have a house full of people. What do you guys think the traffic and parking are going to be like during the event? Normally I would just bike, but I don't want to strand my guests.

Oh yeah, Saturday is going to be amazing.

Yes, I do, but not by choice. I'm only going to be able to make it for Saturday. But, man, with that lineup, I'm not exactly bummed about it. Fun, fun, fun.
