Following a "Blind Faith" promotion earlier this month - where music fans could buy festival passes without knowing who exactly they'd be seeing - Thrival Innovation + Music Festival has announced some of the performers appearing at this year's event, happening Sept. 20-24. More acts will be added to the schedule in the coming months, but headliners include electropop band Chvrches; electronic music elder-statesmen Thievery Corporation; long-standing indie-rockers Metric, funk ensemble Lettuce, indie-dance group Rumblebucket; Sir the Baptist, who irreverently blends gospel, r&b and club music; cheery pop band Wild Child; and locally-based singer-songwriter Brooke Annibale. Early Bird tickets are currently available.
