Sorry for the shouting, but we are SO proud & excited to be bringing Cats on Fire over for their premiere on this side of the pond:

If you haven’t already: listen & fall in love. Then come see their first U.S. show EVER, in June during Popfest.

Indeed, the rumors are true. So, if the Cannanes can come all the way from Australia, you can make it to NYC!

And this just wouldn’t be a proper NYC Popfest without local favorites My Teenage Stride. They rocked us last year... we had so much fun that we asked them to come do it again.

So start making your travel plans! Tickets go on sale as soon as the full roster is confirmed!
