Organizers of the TenSixtyFive Music Festival are setting the stage for a third go-round in downtown Mobile.

The festival will take place September 29 through October 1 and will be held on various stages in Downtown's Central Business District.

A sizeable crowd turned out for Wet Willie's appearance at the Ten Sixty Five music fest on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2015. Put together on short notice, the fest effectively provided a 45th anniversary homecoming show for the band's core lineup. (Lawrence Specker/lspecker@al.com)

This year's lineup, announced via communications with AL.com, will include several top-tier rock acts for visitors and residents of the Gulf Coast.

Unlike the staggered approach to last year's lineup announcements, in which announcements were parsed out over a couple weeks, TenSixtyFive has decided to roll out the lineup in its entirely early this year.

Fans can expect to see the following acts perform live Downtown:

Cage the Elephant

St. Paul and the Broken Bones

Blackberry Smoke

Judah and the Lion

Muscadine Bloodline

Riley Green

Riverbend

Wet Willie

As with the two previous iterations of TenSixtyFive, this year's party will be completely free for patrons downtown. Stages will operate in an open environment, allowing concert-goers to come and go as they please. Without the worry of wristbands or barricades, music fans are free to roam local restaurants, bars and businesses.
