If you live in the Midwest and like music, you should know two things: Mission Creek Festival is for the spring and Pygmalion Festival is for the fall. The Pygmalion Fest, based in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois is one of our favorite musical events in the Midwest. I guess we’d call each other sister festivals but we’re tighter than that; we’re Siamese twins separated at birth or something. Like Mission Creek, Pygmalion takes over its college town for four days, offering shows all over the frickin’ place. Philosophically speaking, Pygmalion and Mission Creek both share a passion for supporting artists, local culture, and introducing musicians to like-minded folks who they might connect with down the line. Everyone should really make plans to head out to Champaign-Urbana for this festival in September. It’s a beautiful town and will offer a nice little get-away from the good old IC for a weekend. We’ll be there for sure!
This year’s Pygmalion Festival takes place Sept. 17th - 20th.
Bands playing so far: Yo La Tengo , Black Mountain, Dan Deacon, High Places, Dark Meat, Headlights, Monotonix, Wye Oak, and more!
