Girl Talk occupies the top slot on the Saturday, July 2 lineup that also features performances by Galactic, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Titus Andronicus, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Thankful Dirt and The Poison Control Center.

Sunday, July 3 has Potter and her Nocturnals in the headline position and will include performances by Parlours, Bitch, The Giving Tree Band and Bear Hands.
