Today the Bellwether Music Festival announced the first wave of acts slated to appear at the festival's sophomore bow in Waynesville, Ohio this summer. The two-day music and camping event returns Aug. 9-10. Bellwether takes place in Renaissance Park, less than an hour north of Cincinnati.
This year's Bellwether will feature performances by Beach House, Cold War Kids, Twin Shadow, Real Estate, Pinback and Caroline Rose. More acts will be announced on March 21.
Bellwether debuted last summer and featured headliners The Flaming Lips and MGMT, though the latter had to cancel due to weather concerns on the fest's opening day. Still, the event had a great vibe and laid the groundwork for an excellent fest-going experience, with fantastic performances from Echo and the Bunnymen, Psychedelic Furs, Japanese Breakfast, Local Natives, Dr. Dog and Erika Wennerstrom.
