Soak up some pre-Bonnaroo vibes at Musictree Fest, a five-day event honoring local music, art and barbecue, in Manchester, Tenn. Following a two-year hiatus, the festival kicks off this year on Friday, June 2, at Manchester’s Downtown Square with more than 20 artists on two stages. The 2017 lineup features Nashville-based artists like CAPPA, Tayls, the Bumbs and PONCÉ, along with Murfreesboro rock group the Hollows and Mize and the Drive. On Saturday night, Musictree is hosting an electronic after-party at The Church at 117 featuring regional EDM acts such as Comatosik, LuKo and others. The festival will continue on Monday and Tuesday with afternoon shows at various downtown venues.
