Northside Festival is back, and with over 350 bands scheduled for the music portion alone, it’s clear that until the end of the week, the fest will be answering its own “What’s next, Brooklyn?” slogan with any one of their on-the-cusp, emerging artist events. Northside really is the festival with something for everyone, from the vast constellation of smaller venues, housing shows that cover all musical tastes, to sold-out Saturday and Sunday McCarren Park headliners, The Walkmen and Solange. Even better, there’s no sting from being left out of the inner circle before you could score tickets of your own: badges are still available for purchase that will guarantee access to any and all shows over the fest’s four days, including those that have sold out. Plus, a badge will get you free access to parties, mixers and happy hours, as well as special deals all over North Brooklyn. Who’s in the inner circle now?
