OK Go, Old 97’s, The Fixx Ready to Rock 'New York's Backyard Jam' In Pleasantville

PLEASANTVILLE, NY — The event, affectionately known as New York's Backyard Jam, is set to celebrate, and the whole Hudson Valley neighborhood is invited to the party.

The Pleasantville Music Festival's 20th annual event is set for Saturday.

This year's Main Stage headliner is OK Go. Main Stage performers also include Old 97’s and The Fixx, with The Vindys performing earlier in the day. The Main Stage will open a little after 1 p.m. with The Speakers.

On the Party Stage, headliner The Thing will top a bill that also includes Similar Kind, Two Man Giant Squid, and Round Trip. Guitarist Lara Cwass will sit in with Round Trip for the Pleasantville show. She previously played the festival in 2015 with Lions on the Moon.

The Chill Tent Stage will feature Yola as its headliner in what the announcement describes as a stripped-down acoustic configuration. Earlier performers on that stage are scheduled to include Robert the Guitar Guy, Way Behind the Sun, and Ari Hest. Dream Street is also on the bill in a reformed acoustic version featuring Pleasantville's Matt Ballinger and South Salem's Greg Rapaso.

OK Go is known for viral videos including "Here It Goes Again" and "Upside Down and Inside Out." The Old 97’s is a pioneering alt-country band from Dallas, and The Fixx is known for songs including "One Thing Leads to Another" and "Stand or Fall." Yola is described in the announcement as a singer-songwriter who has been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards, CMAs, and Americana Awards.
