I was surprised not to find any sort of thread on this new festival upcoming this weekend. Anybody in the Northeast headed to Devens this weekend? Looks like a lot of fun!
The NINES , New England’s newest music and arts festival, a multi-stage, multi-arts summer festival will present a diverse lineup of nationally touring and emerging artists. The all ages event will also feature comedy, art installations, exhibits, interactive art projects, crafts, tasty food and beverages and more.
Sited on the twenty-acre manicured athletic grounds of Willard Field in Devens, MA, The NINES is conveniently accessed directly off of Route 2, and under an hour drive from Greater Boston and southern New Hampshire. Gates will open at Noon on Saturday, August 10th and music starts at 1:00 PM.
The NINES attendees will enjoy a lineup of mixed musical styles represented by Explosions in the Sky, Dr. Dog, Delta Spirit, Walk Off The Earth, Shuggie Otis, Kid Koala, Matt Pond, K. Flay, Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys and more on two stages with no overlapping sets, while a mix of the region’s best emerging to established comedians will take up residence under the “Stitch” comedy tent, curated by Harvard Square’s The Comedy Studio and hosted by the Comedy Studio’s impresario Rick Jenkins. A 21+beer garden will provide a selection of beer and wine.
“Our mission is to bring attention to the breadth of artistic talent in our region, bring top-tier bands to our area and build on this year after year,” says Monica Hinojos, Executive Director of Ayer-based 3Rivers Arts, co-producer of the NINES. “We want to introduce audiences to Central Massachusetts as a hub of artistic talent, and hopefully, a regular summer tour stop for their favorite bands. Our vision is for a happy side-effect of The Nines to be a cultural and economic boost for the area as well.”
General Admission tickets priced at $55.00 and “Patron of the Arts” VIP tickets priced at $115.00 are on sale now at the Acton, Mass. Enterprise Bank branch (located at 340 Great Road/ Route 2A) for in person, cash only purchases.

I only found out about this a few weeks ago, but my sister is in town and we have her baby shower this weekend... so it's a no go for me. If it's around next year...
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I'll be there. I haven't heard ANY talk about it among my friends. I hope it does well so it returns, but selfishly I'm also thinking wouldn't it be great to have a cool festival all to myself! I think attendance is projected to be 3,000.
