Now that our friends back home at ArtsQuest have unveiled their full Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks lineup — check out the full season here, courtesy of our pal John Moser — it’s time for us to hit you with our official Sounds of the Underground lineup, coming to the iconic Bethlehem venue on Friday, June 21.

As previously mentioned, Sounds of the Underground (co-presented by our friends at Your Next Favorite Band) will feature eight eastern Pennsylvania-based performers across two stages. The evening kicks off at 7:30 p.m. with a Nashville-style songwriters round on Levitt Pavilion, where you will get to experience a variety of genres, from folk and Americana, to indie rock and hip hop. Our performers are…

• Alex Radus (Folk/Singer-songwriter)
• Bren (Indie/Alternative)
• Chelsea Mitchell of Dirty Dollhouse (Alt-Americana)
• Greg Adams of TIOGA (Rock)
• Kuf Knotz & Christine Elise (Hip Hop/Alternative)
• Tye Vallone & Brie Emsee of The Groove Merchants (Blues/Rock/Soul)

Then, we kick the evening into overdrive at 9 p.m., right across 1st St. on the Highmark Blue Shield Community Stage on the Air Products Town Square. There, we’ll be joined by high-powered, harmonic rock band The Beautiful Distortion, before closing the evening with Radus’ well-regarded alt-rock project, Hot4Robot.

Normally, this would be the part where we would link you to purchase tickets, but like the rest of this season’s Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks lineup, Sounds of the Underground is FREE, all-ages, and open to the public! Bring your lawn chair, grab a spot, and join us in Bethlehem on the first Friday of summer!
