10 Rock Shows To Catch At Northside Festival 2016
It’s finally here! Today marks the kick off of Northside Festival’s music portion, and thanks to the hard work of everyone involved with the festival, there are so many excellent shows to attend that I’ve separated previews out by genre to help Brooklynites parse the extensive schedules. For those who associate Northside Fest mostly with indie rock, yes, that is the bread and butter here. Luckily, an emphasis on local bands and other people from underrepresented factions reveals to us one thing: rock and roll is alive and kicking. So return to your roots tonight with the ever-excellent Wolf Parade, or venture out to see newcomers like Aye Nako. Either way, you won’t be disappointed. Here’s a rundown of more rock shows that could be in your very near future, if you’d only let them.
