Boulevardia’s 2022 lineup is out, including a ton of local artists. Who’s on the list?
Boulevardia, Kansas City’s music festival, is back after a two-year hiatus and just announced its lineup of performers. Over 60 musicians will fill two stages on June 17-18.
Grand Boulevard at Crown Center will play host to the largest festival in Boulevardia’s seven-year history. With more than 60 performers on deck for two days, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and Jenny Lewis will headline the first night, while Dashboard Confessional and Dayglow are headlining night two.
The festival will be filled with local food and drinks and it wouldn’t be complete without local performers. Boulevardia is packed with some of Kansas City’s finest artists. We compiled a small list of who you can see over the weekend who pridefully represent Kansas City.
A fun fact: Headliner Nathaniel Rateliff is technically a local act too, since he’s a Missouri native.
