As previously announced, the First City Festival will take place in Monterey on August 24th and 25th. Not only will this inaugural festival take place in California’s “first city,” but it will feature a huge list of notable bands: Modest Mouse and Passion Pit supported by Beach House, Toro y Moi, Deerhunter, Animal Collective side project Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks (in its first West Coast show), and so many more. Tickets are on sale via the First City Festival website!
