Noise for the Needy, the music festival for a cause, is coming to Ballard to benefit the Ballard Food Bank, because where else would you rather have it and what better nonprofit would you rather benefit? Whereas in previous years the festival has taken place all throughout the city, this year will be a special Ballard-only event with acts playing at Hattie's Hat, Conor Byrne, Sunset tavern and the Tractor Tavern.
But this isn't just your run-of-the-mill no-name band music festival. Some great names and up-and-coming talents will be present. Among them are the Maldives, Hot Bodies in Motion, Horse Feathers and the headliner Polyrhythmics. And many, many many more.
All-festival wristbands are already sold out, but tickets are still available for individual shows.
