This spring, The National’s Bryce and Aaron Dessner will curate a three-day music festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Running May 3-5th, each night of the Crossing Brooklyn Ferry festival will feature a “different roster of innovative New York City bands and artists from a cross section of genres—plus screenings of commissioned short films and accompanying scores and a late-night dance party,” according to BAM’s website.
Among the notable acts playing are St. Vincent, Beirut, The Walkmen, Atlas Sound, Sharon Van Etten, The Antlers, Twin Shadow, My Brightest Diamond, Oneothrix Point Never, Caveman, Buke and Gase, Ava Luna, and Janka Nabay & the Bubu Gang.
Three-day passes go on sale March 6th via the festival’s website.
