Add another music festival to the pile of multi-band shows coming to an open-air space near you this summer: This year’s installment of the sweaty Village Voice-sponsored Siren Music Festival will take over Coney Island on Saturday, July 19–the same weekend as both the Pitchfork Music Festival and the jammy Mile High Festival. I guess when you’re throwing a free festival, you don’t have to worry about sagging ticket sales, but that seems like some odd counterprogramming to me. [Brooklyn Vegan]
