2-day Hartwood Acres concert lineup announced
HAMPTON TWP. – Hozier and Jason Mraz will headline the first two-day WonderWorks Music Fest, May 27-28 at Hartwood Acres.
An impressive lineup of indie and alternative acts including The Head and The Heart, Mt. Joy, the Revivalists, the Airborne Toxic Event, Coin, X Ambassadors, the Heavy Heavy, The Blue Stones and Michigander also will perform at that Memorial Day weekend event at the Allegheny County park.
Tickets go on sale at noon Friday at wl.seetickets.us. or at WonderWorksfest.com. Prices are $65 with weekend passes sold for $109.
Elevation Festivals, creators and producers of the Midwest's largest contemporary music festivals and producers of last year's Maple House Music + Arts Festival at Hartwood, are running the event.
Opening night's top-billed Hozier, best-known for the six-times platinum, Grammy Award-nominated soul-rock song "Take Me to Church," previously has headlined the Benedum Center and Stage AE outdoors.
Mraz, the day two headliner, most recently headlined the 2021 Roots, Reggae & Relief festival in downtown Pittsburgh, and notched the 2003 Top-40 hit "The Remedy."
Each day's musical festivities will kickoff with locally-based Pittsburgh musical artists selected in partnership with Pittsburgh music fans and the Millvale Music Festival. More details on how bands can be selected will be disclosed in the coming weeks.
WonderWorks will feature three different stages, an array of local, regional and international food, arts/crafts, activities for all ages and a robust artisan vendor village.
The concert is a larger sequel to last year's one-day Maple House Music Festival starring Jason Isbell, Black Pumas, Elle King and Ghost Hounds, the Pittsburgh blues-rock band founded by billionaire Thomas Tull, whose Maple House Records label created the event.
Maple House hired Elevation Festivals to stage the 2022 event.
The two companies have parted ways, after both filed lawsuits against the other claiming to be owed money. The lawsuits were settled out of court.
