Entering its third year, Hopscotch has once again extended its limits, expanding its venue reach to 15 as well as bumping up the numbering of participating bands to 175.
When Hopscotch 2012 hits Downtown Raleigh Sept. 6, the festival will incorporate the use of The Long View Center, situated on the corner of Person and Hargett Streets.
Built in the late 1800s, the venue can seat 400 attendees, which should help alleviate some of the crowds that congregate around Moore Square Hopscotch weekend.
In addition to The Long View Center, Hopscotch will extend invitations to 175 bands — up from last year’s 135.
Tickets for Hopscotch 2012 go on sale Dec. 1 in various pricing structures.
Here’s a breakdown of the ticket and wristband options:
Unlike previous years, “due to a lack of interest” there will be no club-only wristband. And as a gift to previous ticket buyers, Hopscotch will offer pre-sales 24 hours in advance of the Dec. 1 on-sale.
The full lineup is expected to be announced April 20.
