In late March, AthFest announced the outdoor headliners for this year’s 20th-anniversary edition, and now the festival has released the full outdoor schedule, which you can check out on the AthFest site.

In addition to headliners Kishi Bashi, Arrested Development and Family and Friends, outdoor performers include Kevn Kinney of Drivin’ N’ Cryin’, avant-folkie Jim White, indie-pop buzz band Wanda, the Athens Cowboy Choir, the Randall Bramblett Band, The Norm, Monsoon, Yip Deceiver, Five Eight and many more.

AthFest has also revealed some of the headliners of the weekend’s Club Crawl, which takes place after the outdoor stages wind down at various venues around town. Joining the already-announced Black Lips, who will play the 40 Watt Club on Saturday, June 25, is local phenom Mothers, who will headline the 40 Watt the previous night.

Up the block, out-of-towners The Dexateens and The Coathangers will co-headline the Georgia Theatre Friday, June 24, and Athens psych-pop institution Elf Power will play Saturday.

Each of those Club Crawl shows is wristband-only, meaning you must purchase an AthFest wristband for entry. Those are available here.

The full Club Crawl schedule will be released in the coming days. Check the AthFest site for updated information.
