Sure, it may not be Lollapalooza or Austin City Limits — yet.

But as the rock ’n’ roll capital of the world, it’s about time Cleveland had a music festival in sync with its multi-genre big city sound.

The inaugural two-day InCuya Music Festival Aug. 25 and 26 plans to turn Mall B and C into a perfect shuffle of our favorite songs, with a lineup of national acts including New Order, the Avett Brothers and SZA, plus local standouts such as The Modern Electric and Ezri.

With 25 performers, the atmosphere will hit a high note with all kinds of music lovers.

“We’re thrilled with the diversity of acts,” says Joe Litvag, AEG Presents senior vice president. “We wanted to check as many genre boxes as possible.”

Mall B and C, Cleveland, 855-233-6642, incuya.com
