Show Caption Hide Caption Indianapolis things to do: June sounds good The Killers, Keith Urban, Imagine Dragons, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Harry Styles are five music acts headed to Indianapolis in June.

A new Garfield Park music festival, Holler on the Hill, is focused on folk, country, roots rock, bluegrass and soul sounds.

These styles are grouped in the Americana genre, and Holler on the Hill includes standout Americana acts St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Amanda Shires, Blitzen Trapper, John Paul White and Hayes Carll.

St. Paul & the Broken Bones and indie-rock band Moon Taxi are listed as headliners for the Sept. 22-23 event unveiled today by concert promoter MOKB Presents.

Holler on the Hill will feature more than 30 performers, including at least six with strong Indiana connections: the Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band, Otis Gibbs, Alex Williams, Whiskey Wolves of the West (a new project of Old Pike vocalist Tim Jones), Bigfoot Yancey and Brandon Whyde.

Gen Con: Four-day passes nearly sold out

Tickets, ranging from $48 for a single-day general admission pass to $75 for a two-day pass purchased in advance, are available at HollerOnTheHill.com. The festival is open to all ages.

Attendance will be capped at 5,000 per day, and a portion of ticket proceeds will benefit community organizations Indiana Farmers Union, Indiana Forest Alliance, Hoosier Organic Marketing Education (HOME), Garfield Park Farmers Market and Indianapolis Parks Foundation.

Festival founder Josh Baker said Holler on the Hill will feature performances at MacAllister Amphitheater and two additional stages.

“When I first stepped foot inside Garfield Park’s MacAllister Amphitheater, nearly 10 years ago, I wondered why this incredible space wasn’t hosting a great music festival,” Baker said in a statement. “I had this vision of a small but mighty gathering of die-hard, working-class music lovers eating, singing, drinking together in a laidback, family reunion-like atmosphere.”

In addition to acts listed above, Holler on the Hill's initial roster of performers includes Colter Wall, Jamestown Revival, Billy Strings, Jade Bird, Detroit Cobras, Jesse Dayton, Joe Pug, Lydia Loveless and Aaron Lee Tasjan.

MOKB Presents launched a series of outdoor shows at MacAllister Amphitheater, primarily known as a site for Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra performances, in 2016.

This year's roster of concerts includes Father John Misty on Sept. 21, the Revivalists on Sept. 28 and Borns on Sept. 29, meaning MOKB Presents will stage shows at MacAllister on five days of a nine-day stretch.
