Producers of the Phillips Backyard Festival Series have announced their 2023 lineup, with several high-profile U.S. acts set to perform at Phillips Brewing this summer.
The series features two unique outdoor events, each running for three days in July and August, respectively. Leading the way are Grammy-nominated folk rockers Fleet Foxes and acclaimed rapper Anderson Paak, who is performing a vinyl DJ set with live instrumentation under the pseudonym DJ Pee Wee.
Paak, whose group with Bruno Mars, Silk Sonic, won four Grammy Awards in 2022, including record of the year and song of the year, will headline Tilt! (July 7-9) alongside Bahamas, Lord Huron, Neal Francis, Sudan Archives and Snotty Nose Rez Kids, among others. Fleet Foxes top the list of acts performing at Reverb (Aug. 11-13), a lineup that also includes Peach Pit, Allen Stone, Jesse Roper, The Blue Stones, Jon and Roy, Crown Lands, Ruby Waters and others.
The event made its debut last year with three two-day events featuring 30 acts at the Government Street brewery. Future Islands, Bryce Vine, Half Moon Run, The Beaches, Current Swell and St. Paul and the Broken Bones gave performances during the series’ first year.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday at 10 a.m. through phillipsbackyard.com. Single day tickets start at $80, with weekend passes available for $260 (Tilt!) and $235 (Reverb).
