"The Capitol Hill Block Party is a huge, two-day explosion of bands and a great opportunity to see the most exciting new music from the best music scene in the country all while supporting great non-profit programs like The Vera Project and Home Alive." -The Stranger
The 2008 Capitol Hill Block Party takes over Seattle's South Capitol Hill neighborhood July 25-26 with its best lineup yet. The Block Party is an annual music festival that draws upon and showcases the best indie and underground rock in the U.S., with a special focus on its Northwest artists. Launched 11 years ago, it has evolved into one of Seattle's most anticipated outdoor music festivals. With over 50 bands on four stages, great food, and plenty of cheap beer, this is one of the best parties of the summer.
Partial proceeds from The Block Party benefit two excellent non-profits: Home Alive, which encourages violence prevention, and The Vera Project, a youth run all ages venue and recording studio in Seattle.
Tickets for The Block Party go on sale Friday April 18, 10:00 a.m. The Block Party continues to be one of the least expensive festivals in the country, with tickets only $18 in advance and a two-day pass for only $34.
