Monday — Crystal Fighters — Mezzanine

Thursday— Passenger — Fox Theater
Michael Rosenberg, also known as Passenger, has embarked on quite the journey since playing his first show at 16.

Indie rock band The Paper Kites are set to open.
Thursday — Joshua Cook and The Key of Now — Rickshaw Stop
Dual Record is hosting a multi-genre double release party for Joshua Cook and The Key of Now and The Love Dimension.

Supporting the anticipated releases is pop-punk band Snow Angel. To tie everything together, visuals will be provided by White Light Prism.
