Summer in the San Francisco Bay Area means a number of things. More specifically, summer in the Bay Area means that there is only one event to properly kick off the concert season, with a majority of major shows taking place at Mountain View's historic Shoreline Amphitheater. The show that has the honor of kicking things off each year? Live 105's BFD.
This morning, the staff at Live 105.3, the premiere alternative rock station in the Bay Area, released details for this year's festival. The festival will feature a main stage headlined by Phoenix, Franz Ferdinand, Cold War Kids, Milky Chance, and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. The Bud Light Festival Stages will be hosting live music all day, headlined by Taking Back Sunday and Marian Hill.
As always, the Subsonic Tent will feature some of the best up-and-coming acts in electronic dance music, headlined by none other than Getter at the end of the night. And finally, who could forget the Local Band Stage? This year's stage will be headlined by local favorite Silent Pilot, and feature performances from Picture Atlantic, Cemetery Sun, Birthday, and many more.
Tickets for the show go on sale Friday, April 15 at 10 AM PST via Ticketmaster (concerts1.livenation.com/event/1C0052842E75131F), with the Live 105 Presale kicking off on April 12 at 10 AM PST. Ticket prices, along with the full lineup, can be found below! We'll see you at BFD!
