Yesterday The Inaugural Sloss Music & Arts Festival was announced in Birmingham, Alabama. And we say welcome to the party B’Ham! Produced by AC Entertainment (Bonnaroo/Forecastle) and Red Mountain Entertainment (Bayfest/Beale St. Music Festival), Birmingham is trying to get on the festival map with a diverse, yet indie focused lineup that has us wanting to make the trek over from Atlanta. And hey, they are gonna have some of that good Alabama craft beer and Jim N’ Nicks’ BBQ. Mmmmmm, yes please.
From Modest Mouse, to Sturgill Simpson, Band of Horses, First Aid Kit, Purity Ring, Robert Delong, to a yet to be announced headliner, to some of Alabama’s best talent like St. Paul and the Broken Bones and Lee Bains III and The Glory Fires, this lineup is a great start for this small fest. Sloss Furnaces was already a great place to see a show and should be a nice setting for this new festival.
