For the first time in its five-year history, the Village Voice 4Knots Music Festival, which grew out of the beloved Siren Festival in Coney Island, is charging admission, and the music will be held on one stage instead of two. The event, which is moving to Pier 84 in Hudson River Park, is reaching into its past, as two Siren veterans will be taking part in 4Knots this year, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks (2008) and Screaming Females (2010). General admission tickets are $25, but for a limited time you can get one free with every three you buy, which essentially reduces the cost of each ticket to $18.75. VIP tickets ($50) give you access to the Hornblower Cruise Ship on the dock. (Proceeds benefit the Friends of Hudson River Park.) There will also be a food court on the pier, with such booths and trucks as Dos Toros, Papaya King, Crafty ’Cue BBQ, Harlem Public, Luzzo’s Pizza, and Ti Amo Gelato. The final lineup and set times have been announced and are as follows:
Surfbort — 12:00
