80/35 Music Festival
Western Gateway Park, Des Moines — Friday, July 12 – Saturday, July 13
The lineup for the 80/35 Music Festival was announced on Tuesday morning, and the downtown Des Moines event is expanding for its 12th year. The ticketed area for the two-day festival — Friday and Saturday, July 12 and 13 — will now have two ticketed stages, featuring such top-name performers as Portugal. The Man, Elle King and Liz Phair.
There will also be 30 performances on the festival’s three free stages, as well as art installations and a kid’s zone.
The festival will be in Western Gateway Park again this year, but its set-up will be slightly different. A map and more details about the set-up and other aspects of the festival are available at the 80/35 website.
