Pygmalion Music Festival 2009 - Updates & More!
 

The 5th annual Pygmalion Music Festival, held in the twin towns of Champaign-Urbana, Ill., kicks off next week on Wednesday, September 16th and runs until Saturday, September 19th. With festival passes sold out, single tickets going quickly, and a sold out headlining performance from Iron and Wine and The Books, plus massive indie rock showcases with artists including RJD2, Lucero, YACHT, The Antlers, Japandroids, Headlights, Wavves, Autolux, Low, BLK JKS, My Brightest Diamond and many more, this self-proclaimed "intimate festival" promises to be an overwhelming success.

Though festival passes are now sold out, the festival can still be attended with ease by purchasing single tickets to individual shows at the door of the show one wants to attend, or by buying in advance for the performances at Canopy Club at http://2009.pygmalionmusicfestival.co m/.

Also, rumors of after-parties are coming to fruition, as well. The Pygmalion Music Festival wanted to ensure some of these artists had opportunities to perform elsewhere, just in case some people were caught making a tough decision between multiple artists performing at once.

The festival schedule has undergone a few adjustments in recent weeks. Saturday's day parties are scheduled and Solid Gold has canceled. An updated schedule is below.
