ABOUT THE ARTISTS
With their uplifting melodies and irresistible grooves, The Hip Abduction is the perfect soundtrack for a spring night under the stars.
“The Hip Abduction are one of my favorite bands. If they’re in town, you have to see them play” says Jason Martin of Martin’s Downtown, the festival’s Official Afterparty venue, where the celebration will continue long after the show.
The Hip Abduction is the creative vision of singer-songwriter David New, who crafts music inspired by his travels. On stage, he’s joined by Matt Poynter (drums), Chris Powers (bass), Justino Walker (guitar, vocals, ngoni), and Cody Moore (keys, sax)—a powerhouse lineup that blends Afrobeat, reggae, jam, and indie-electronic influences into an unforgettable live experience. Since 2012, the band has played major music festivals across the U.S., gained 750K+ monthly Spotify listeners, and toured with Dirty Heads, Slightly Stoopid, Galactic, and The Revivalists.

Caitlin Krisko and The Broadcast returns to the DxDT stage and has shared stages with groups like St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Marcus King, and The String Cheese Incident. Their set promises to be a captivating blend of soul, rock, blues, and pop - as well as powerhouse vocals from frontwoman Caitlin Krisko.
The Empty Bottles are a Roanoke favorite serving up fine covers of yacht rock faves and retro jams.
