The now two-day festival is back, letting us indulge in a myriad of awesome music at Merriweather Post Pavillion on May 30th and 31st. The line-up is diverse, spanning across a range of all genres. The food vendors are all locals as well, and there will be vegetarian/gluten-free options! Listed below are a few acts we're dying to see. The Bots are two brothers from Los Angeles, making a wave in the punk scene. Check out "All I Really Want," from their debut album Pink Palms.

If you're a frequent Capitol Sound reader, you know that we're huge fans of Sun Club! The Baltimore band takes pop music to a new level, listen to "Summer Feet" from their EP Dad Claps At The Mom Prom.

Wet is a trio from Brooklyn, New York. Although Kelly Zutrau already gives any other vocalist a run for their money, their remixes make this group stand out even more. Check out their remix to MSMR's "Think Of You."
