Quote :

"Kramer will be joined on the road by an all-star backing band. Dubbed “MC50,” the lineup features Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil, Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty, King’s X bassist Dug Pinnick, and Zen Guerrilla frontman Marcus Durant. Additionally, drummer Dennis Thompson, the only other living member of MC5, will appear at select dates."

Whoa

5/16/2018 12:02:03 AM

29 for me

5/16/2018 12:13:49 AM

How does that place with years past?

[Edited on May 16, 2018 at 12:15 AM. Reason : feels high]

5/16/2018 12:15:21 AM

way higher

lotta NC past and present in the lineup

[Edited on May 16, 2018 at 12:40 AM. Reason : dvsn is someone who I’d never heard of before being near the top of the lineup]

5/16/2018 12:37:43 AM

I've heard of 11, which is higher than usual.

5/16/2018 7:20:33 AM

i came in on 20 which feels high for me. grizzly bear in city plaza gets me very excited.

the love language are still a thing?

5/17/2018 2:26:42 AM

Pulled the trigger on VIP.

7/15/2018 5:41:31 PM

whole lotta conflicts this year

the new Swearin’ song being a jam certainly doesn’t help

7/24/2018 3:10:51 PM

I too pulled the trigger on VIP

what small shows do I need to check out?

8/20/2018 4:30:32 PM

I just briefly looked, can you buy single day tickets? I know I did that in the past.

Thanks! I now see when you click the "tickets" tab, it brings that page up. I had been hovering over tickets and choosing items on the drop-down menu, and it didn't show individual day tickets.

8/22/2018 1:15:22 PM

9/3/2018 9:45:08 PM

I still can’t decide if it’ll be worth it to go to the Revolution’s set

9/3/2018 9:49:38 PM

how did i forget speedy ortiz?

9/3/2018 11:03:55 PM

Thundercat was amazing.

9/8/2018 9:43:33 AM

big time

funk, punk, jazz, metal, and more in one set

been waiting for more than 10 years of that Grizzly Bear set, and it live up to expectations

9/8/2018 12:19:50 PM

Thundercat was beyond amazing. Did anyone make it to the mountain man set at ruby deluxe? Holy shit

[Edited on September 8, 2018 at 12:43 PM. Reason : Man]

9/8/2018 12:43:00 PM

No but caught the wrestling match there today. Lol

9/8/2018 6:52:58 PM

That was one of the best hopscotch weekends in a few years. Saw 23 shows. Already bought early bird VIP for next year.

9/9/2018 6:45:55 PM

^nice. I was tempted myself. I had great time. VIP was worth it

9/9/2018 7:12:18 PM

day parties, particularly those at Kings, were incredible this year

never stood in a line, so our general admission wristbands have already been purchased

expecting big things for Hopscotch 10

9/9/2018 7:13:38 PM

I skipped a couple lines but the $75 difference is easily made up in the free drinks over the weekend. They should offer less VIP in the future...seemed like half the people there had VIP this year.

9/9/2018 7:27:40 PM

Dammit, I wish I knew Eric Bachman was playing a free show on Saturday. I should have paid more attention

9/10/2018 12:25:26 PM

multiple free shows

Speed Stick played after his set at Kings and melted everyone’s face off
