CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Outdoor Cleveland music festival Brite Winter has announced its 2020 lineup of bands today.

The fest will be headlined by Youngstown soul-rock band The Vindys and Akron hip-hop group Red Rose Panic. The rest of the lineup features 41 acts, including Uptown Buddha, Uptight Sugar, Spirit Of The Bear, The Katy, Harbour, Taj Weekes & Adowa and many more.

Brite Winter takes place Saturday, Feb. 22, on the West Bank of Cleveland’s Flats neighborhood, underneath the Main Avenue Bridge, and it will happen rain or shine (or snow). This will mark the 11th year for the festival, which annually draws tens of thousands of music fans to downtown Cleveland.

Along with music, Brite Winter features outdoor art displays, ice sculptures, games and interactive performances. The festival has remained free since it began in 2010.

A new aspect of this year’s Brite Winter involves ticketing. While Brite Winter’s general admission remains free, guests must RSVP and use a ticket to get in, though the policy seems pretty loose.

The Eventbrite ticket link reads: “If you don't get [a ticket], we'll still hook you up at the event, so no worries. But really, you should get one because you could win a pair of VIP tickets. Oh, and skip the line.”

VIP tickets cost $45, and include unlimited hot chocolate and coffee, snacks, private restrooms, a heated tent and VIP tent bar. An upgrade to $250 for two people is included, with an overnight stay at Aloft hotel.
