The sun is out and the beach is a bus ride away. Just don't forget to bring our playlist of the best summer songs.
Over the years, no summer music festival has thrilled us quite like Afropunk Brooklyn. The fest's combination of DIY vibes, inclusive scene, and focused, expert booking helped it avoid the bland, generic atmosphere of some bigger festivals. This year's lineup seems similarly promising—Jill Scott, FKA Twigs, Kamasi Washington and Leon Bridges have to be the four most sonically diverse headliners of any festival this summer. The festival happens at Brooklyn's Commodore Barry Park on August 24 and 25.
Tickets are on sale now from Afropunk or via Time Out. Check out the full lineup below.
