St. Louis is getting a new music festival, which we hope will be as good as Music at the Intersection (pictured).
Evolution Festival — which promises to be the heir, but better, to the departed LouFest — has announced its inaugural lineup, and passes and ticket details.
The festival will take place in Forest Park on Saturday, August 26, and Sunday, August 27. Passes and tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. tomorrow, but Evolution Insiders can get early access beginning at noon today with a code available on signup for the Insider Club.
Single day general admission passes start at $75, with silver and gold packages starting at $175.50 and $349.50. There will also be a bundled four-pack of tickets starting at $199.50 and weekended passes for $449.50. Tickets and more information at evolutionfestival.com.
