Sierra Nevada is pairing craft beer with a stacked indie bill. The brewery has announced its first-ever music and arts festival, The Hazy Hideaway, landing at its Mills River, North Carolina brewery on August 21 and 22. Produced and curated by Sierra Nevada, the two-day event spotlights artists from the indie and alternative scenes alongside local performers.
Phantogram headline opening night on Friday, August 21. The electro-pop duo bring exactly the kind of atmospheric punch a debut festival wants up top, and the Friday bill rounds out with Poolside, Mon Rovîa, Magic City Hippies, King Garbage, Boat Command, Krave Amiko, and The Silver Doors.
Toro y Moi tops the bill Saturday, August 22, a perfect fit for a festival built on good vibes and warm-weather grooves. The second day also features Jonah Kagan, Helado Tropical, Bay Ledges, The Get Right Band, Pink Beds, Coconut Cake, Hannah Kaminer, Random Animals, and Yesterday’s Clothes.
The festival goes well beyond the stages. Attendees get a vendor marketplace stocked with North Carolina artisan goods, live mural painting demonstrations, and a vinyl listening lounge serving handcrafted coffee. Vinyl DJ sets from Mr. Soul Motion and Marley Carroll fill the gaps between performances, while Sierra Nevada’s Taproom rolls out a special festival menu alongside local food trucks across the weekend.
