The Pygmalion Festival is right around the corner, and today is the day that we help unveil the complete schedule for this year’s festival. The Pygmalion Festival encompasses the music festival portion, of course, but again this year, the festival will feature The Pygmalion Lit Festival, as well as The Made Fest, a craft/handmade marketplace.
Not only that — but the festival’s schedule is fully functional over at the scheduling page on the website, where you can figure out what works best for you throughout the weekend. Check out the entire schedule below, which features a bunch of venues around the Krannert Center district Thursday and Friday evening, as well as Downtown Champaign on Saturday and Sunday.
Some interesting additions you might take a look at — plenty of local artists and additional touring artists have been added, including DJ sets from CHVRCHES and Owen. An awesome Lit Fest addition is George Clarke, lead singer of Deafheaven, who will be participating and reading his work.
Comedy is mixed in a bit this year as well, where you can see Nick Thune, Doogie Horner and Andrew Voris will provide some laughs at Memphis on Main on Saturday night.
Full festival passes are still available, as well as several single-show ticketing options if you’re unable to make the entire weekend. Grab your tickets here, and stay tuned for our full festival coverage in the upcoming weeks for Music, Lit, and Made.
