Solid Sound – the music and arts festival curated by Wilco and hosted by MASS MoCA in North Adams – has announced the line-up of bands, and once again it’s a mighty fine mix of music that stretches from jazz (the Charles Lloyd Quartet) to Afro-Beat (King Sunny Adé & His African Beats), from hip-hop (Shabazz Palaces) to Omni-Pop (NRBQ), in addition to comedy, film, theater and more…

The fest takes over the MASS MoCA campus with multiple performance stages for three days from Friday-Sunday, June 26-28.

Advance all-festival, three-day passes are currently available for $149. Three-day passes for children ages 7-10 are $50. For kids age six and under, admission is free.
