Movin’ On will announce its 2019 festival lineup Saturday, March 30 at the organization’s annual “Battle of the Bands.” The competition determines which student/local performer will open for nationally-known artists at Movin’ On’s main festival in April.

Eight acts will perform at Battle of the Bands, including four-piece groove group TV Dinners, three-piece band Grapefruit Cannonball, rapper Siiire, “urban swag” hip-hop group AngieOnMars, reggae-rock band Queen Blue, nontraditional hip-hop group Maritan Madness, indie pop band Forest Resources, and upbeat group The Idea.

Movin’ On has changed up how it announces its highly-anticipated lineup over the past few years, going from a social media announcement to an in-person announcement at the HUB to this year’s Battle of the Bands announcement. Recent headliners have included Logic (who was canceled due to the weather), Two-Door Cinema Club, and Walk The Moon.

Doors for Battle of the Bands will open at 8:30 p.m. and the competition will begin at 9 p.m. Saturday in the HUB’s Alumni Hall.
