While we’re still missing CMJ, and have yet to make it to SXSW, The New Colossus Festival is back for its second year. From March 11-15th, the Lower East Side will be taken over by bands from all over the world, and we couldn’t be more excited to have the music in Manhattan. Below are just some of the great acts, from New York to the Netherlands, that we can’t wait to see.

You can find when and where these great bands are playing, and all the other one’s we didn’t get to include, here.
