Do music fans in Seattle have it any better?

Just two weeks after being treated to Sub Pop’s incredible celebration, Seattle will play host to another multi-day music festival - the Capital Hill Block Party. While The Stranger and 90.3 KEXP organized event may lack the once in a lifetime reunions experienced at Sub Pop, Block Party’s 11th annual lineup is nothing to joke around about.

Already headed by the likes of Vampire Weekend, DeVotchKa, The Hold Steady, and Girl Talk, the festival has since finalized its lineup and unveiled its schedule. Among the most noteworthy addition? The inclusion of something called “Sing Sing After Parties,” scheduled to feature a Chromeo DJ set and Pase Rock.
