McDowell Mountain Music Festival announces additions to the festival’s lineup including the indie-pop duo MS MR, and folk group The Oh Hellos among others.

Local band additions include, Luna Aura, Taylor Upsahl, and Mr. Mudd & Mr. Gold.

Beck, Kid Cudi, The Avett Brothers and Animal Collective are already playing at this year’s festival.

The three-day festival celebrates its 13th year of combining music, arts, food, and charities for Phoenix locals seeking an authentic festival experience. The latest lineup additions round out what is promised to be a marquee event for true live music fanatics. McDowell Mountain Music Festival takes place on March 11 – 13 in downtown Phoenix’s Margaret T. Hance Park.

“Our lineup is a reflection of the eclectic and varied music choices of our festival fans and attendees. Just like our artists, they don’t like to be put in a box. They love what they love, because it’s raw music – not because it plays on the radio. Our current lineup ranges from the Blues and Jazz roots of Gary Clark Jr., to the upcoming Electronic sounds with Porter Robinson, and the legacy of Beck. Our ticket buyers are excited about our evolution and growth as a festival,” said John Largay, Founder and President.

With sugar-coated closings to each evening, the After Hours events grant festivalgoers the experience to celebrate the night with their artist of choice. Festivities range from DJ to full sets fueled by cocktails and treats served by The Renaissance Hotel until the early hours of the morning.

The official After Hours at the Downtown Phoenix Renaissance Hotel are: Animal Collective (DJ set) on Friday, and three Saturday night shows with M!NT, Goldfish, and GRiZ (DJ set).
