Prepare for an avalanche of local music across two days in Buffalo's Cobblestone District.

The third annual Cobblestone Live Music and Arts Festival, slated for Aug. 2 and 3, has announced the first 29 bands that will perform across four stages - two outdoor and two indoor - with much of the outdoor action on Illinois and Columbia streets.

Buffalo Iron Works, Lockhouse Distillery and Sunbeam Entertainment present the festival, which was headlined in 2018 by Broken Social Scene. While the majority of bands - ranging from pop to reggae - are from Buffalo, a few of the bigger names come from out of town.
