MidPoint Music Festival Announces Initial 2017 Lineup

The 2017 installment of the Midpoint Music Festival will be held in downtown Cincinnati at the Taft Theatre and Cincinnati Masonic Center on September 23 and 24. Organizers of the 17th annual event, which will take place in a new location this year, have detailed the initial lineup.

Taking place across four stages at the Taft Theatre, the Ballroom at the Taft Theatre, the Masonic Cathedral, and an outdoor stage on 5th Street at Broadway, the 2017 installment of the Midpoint Music Festival will include performances by WALK THE MOON, The New Pornographers, Broken Social Scene, BADBADNOTGOOD, Valerie June, Frightened Rabbit, Dan Deacon and more. A second wave of artists, including local and regional acts, will be announced later in the summer.

“This year’s version of Midpoint is the most exciting and dynamic,” said Rick McCarty, festival organizer. “We cannot wait to see the transformation in and around the Taft Theatre and Masonic Center. We remain committed to helping continue the growth of this event with a more diverse line up and one of the most uniquely immersive experiences music lovers will find!” Weekend and VIP passes will go on sale this Friday, June 30 via the festival’s website.
