Blessing in Disguise music fest unveils inaugural lineup

Spokane’s new summer fest Blessing in Disguise was announced in December — and now its debut lineup is here. The inaugural edition takes over four stages in and around ONE Spokane Stadium and The Podium on Saturday, July 11.

Washington’s own Macklemore tops the bill, returning to the city where he shot the video for “Downtown.” He’s joined by indie-pop hitmakers AJR (the brother trio behind eight platinum singles, including “Bang!” and “Weak”), alt-rock mainstays AWOLNATION, ready to send the crowd into a “Sail”-fueled singalong, and Canadian indie rockers Mother Mother, who round out the ONE Spokane Stadium mainstage.

Tickets are on sale now at bidmusicfest.com. General admission is $95, with VIP options at $250 and $400. The festival has also partnered with Team Gleason, donating $1 from every ticket sold to support people living with ALS.
