Northside Festival returning in June, Beirut is a rumored headliner (press conference at Brooklyn Borough Hall at 11am)

This Thursday, March 10, we would like to invite you to Brooklyn Borough Hall at 11am, where Northside will be revealing details of this year’s festival, including a sneak peek of bands and showcase presenters that will be participating. Additionally, press will be invited to the unveiling of the first issue of the soon to be released Brooklyn Magazine, a quarterly publication focusing on the styles and trends coming out of Brooklyn today. Select members of the festival talent will be available for interviews.

Northside Festival will make its return to the streets of Williamsburg and Greenpoint on June 16-19, 2011, for a third year of music, film and art.” [Northside Festival]

Rumor is that Beirut will be one of the bands announced. That also makes sense since Beirut is touring in June as you can see below…
