What? It’s June already? Get out! We like to say that every year we get a bit better at this whole festival planning thing — and it’s mostly true — but man, when Summer is knocking on the back door we really begin to interpret the phrase “time crunch” literally. It’s crazy how much goes into putting this thing on; from the big-picture stuff like lining up artists and musicians, right down to the nitty-gritty. Like, say, do we want wooden drink tokens, or plastic? (Wooden) Are all of our permits in order? (Almost) And, what are the pros and cons of tents with centre poles? (Don’t even ask). The organizing committee is hands-on. At this point we’re closer to being a well-oiled machine than we’ve ever been, but there are times when all we want to do is get a good night’s sleep. September, we say! We’ll sleep in September! And then there’s Dooryard 4…

Regardless, we’re all beyond excited about this year’s festival. Check out the Dooryard page for our initial lineup announcement. There will be more acts revealed shortly! Grab an earlybird pass while they’re available for $50 — it’ll be well worth it.

Tickets for individual events will go on sale Friday, June 10th via Ticketpro.

See you in the Dooryard! We’ll be the ones with sleepless, bloodshot eyes and huge grins.
