Soundset '09 headliners announced
Unsurprisingly, but in a good way: Atmosphere tops the bill.
Local hip-hop cartel Rhymesayers Entertainment has announced the first round of artist confirmations for this year's Soundset festival, scheduled for May 24 at Canterbury Park. It's no real surprise to see hometown favorites Atmosphere on the list—no doubt, they'll be greeted warmly by fans as they wrap up a lengthy North American tour. Also confirmed to play the fest today were MF Doom, Brother Ali, Sage Francis with B. Dolan, Immortal Technique, P.O.S., El-P featuring Mr. Dibbs, Eyedea & Abilities, Abstract Rude and I Self Devine.
According to the announcement at Rhymesayers.com, limited pre-sale tickets for fans are available now through Wednesday, March 18 online at artistarena.com and at Rhymesayers' brick-and-mortar record store in Uptown, Fifth Element. (Buy early and you save five bucks.) General-admission tickets to the festival and the late-night afterparty at Canterbury Park go on sale Saturday, March 21. Admission to the festival is $30; the festival and afterparty together is $40.
