Pitchfork: Sufjan, Band of Horses, Wrens Play Paste Fest

Sufjan, Band of Horses, Wrens Play Paste Fest
So do Magnolia Electric Co., Beirut, José González, and more

Paste Magazine does more than tell your mom what music to listen to and provide freelance paychecks for several Pitchfork staffers. It also puts on quality rock music festivals featuring bands we aren't afraid to endorse.

The second annual Rock n Reel Festival takes place September 15-24 at clubs across Atlanta, Georgia, including the Earl, Variety Playhouse, Fox Theatre, and East Atlanta Strut.

The festival's full artist lineup features 50+ bands/musicians. Highlights include Sufjan Stevens, Band of Horses, Beirut, Magnolia Electric Co., the Wrens, José González, Death Vessel, My Brightest Diamond, Now It's Overhead, Richard Buckner, Eric Bachmann, Chad VanGaalen, French Kicks, Supersystem, the Little Ones, and more.

As its name suggests, Rock n Reel also screens movies. The festival is currently holding an online short film competition, which can be accessed here.
