Where to buy tickets, best prices

Indie heaven is in Hartford this weekend.

On June 28-29, The Capitol Groove Festival goes down at Connecticut’s Bushnell Park — aka the heart of Hartford — with many of the most exciting names in alternative music.

Just a few of the artists we’re most excited to see perform live at the two-day extravaganza include peppy pop-rockers Bleachers, blissed-out Khruangbin, disaffected ’90s icon Cake, frantic funk singer Thundercat and throwback outfit Thee Sacred Souls.

St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Fantastic Negrito, Steel Pulse, Ripe and Ghost Funk Orchestra round out the sonically diverse lineup.

In total, 14 acts will grace the Park’s grounds on Saturday and Sunday.

But wait! There’s more!

CT food vendors Grumpy Dumpling Co., Little Pub, Taste House Food Truck, Flavors, Los Mariachis on Wheels are slinging grub along with East Coast favorites Lumpia Bros. out of Massachusetts, Maryland’s Get Baked Food Trolley, The Broccoli Bar from Vermont, Smoketown BBQ from New York City, Mazz ‘a’ Mia’s, Vara’s Racing Steak Truck and more.

Sound like the can’t-miss indie festival of your dreams?

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find for one day was $118 including fees on Vivid Seats.
