City Arts magazine just rolled out the lineup for its second annual music and arts festival in October, and Swedish pop star Robyn and alt-country crooner Ryan Adams (not to be confused with Brian Adams) top the list, along with rockers Built to Spill
(in their only Northwest performance of the year), electronic act Crystal Castles, and Latin hip-hoppers Ozomatli. Talk about a little something for everyone—the City Arts Fest is nothing if not eclectic. (Remember last year’s headliners?)

Also making an appearance: Shelby Lynne, Blackalicious, Freestyle Fellowship, Mudhoney, the Fasbacks, the Long Winters, Seapony, Campfire OK, and Seattle School of Rock at the Laser Dome. Plus, there’s plenty of theater performances, new projects by local artists, pie bakeoffs, "Thriller" dance classes, and singalongs over the weekend.

Heineken City Arts Fest takes place in 20 venues across the city from October 20–22. All-access wristband tickets ($69) go on sale August 5 at 10am at cityartsfest.com; individual performances go on sale August 24. Check back here for updates.
