Hopscotch leak: Dawn Golden and Rosy Cross to play 3-day festival

Eight days: that’s all we have to wait before we can soak in the complete list of 135 bands playing this summer’s Hopscotch Music Festival.

Leading up to that highly anticipated announcement, the Hopscotch organizers have slowly lifted the veil of secrecy, revealing bits of information about the venues and artists who will fill out the massive, three-day festival.

Today, curator Grayson Currin announced that Dawn Golden and Rosy Cross will occupy one of the coveted spots when the festival takes over Downtown Raleigh September 8 through 10.

“[F]rom the start, we’ve made a commitment to presenting a mix of emerging artists across as many genres and categories as possible — pop, experimental, hip-hop, electronic, singer-songwriter and so on,” Currin explained. “Dawn Golden and Rosy Cross is not only one of this year’s most thrilling discoveries; it’s also a find that welds each of those genres into one unlikely and unforgettable whole.”
