Camp Bisco announces 2013 lineup

Following on the heels of Tuesday's Bonnaroo lineup announcement, one of America's fastest growing festivals has announced the biggest lineup in its 12 year history today, Feb. 21. Camp Bisco, the three day July extravaganza hosted and headlined by electro-jam favorites The Disco Biscuits, will also see headlining sets from DJ sensation Bassnectar, indie rockers Passion Pit, instrumental jammers STS9, and psychedelic rockers Animal Collective.

Held Jul. 11-13 at the Indian Lookout Country Club near Albany, New York, Camp Bisco has grown exponentially over its first decade to become one of New York's biggest festival events each year. The festival's growth is attributable in large part to the eclectic mix of artists on display.

Always a band who dabbled in everything from jam to electronic to jazz to funk and beyond, The Disco Biscuits' signature festival has grown to look much like the band who heads it up. The undercard is full of artists from across the musical spectrum.

For the lovers of jam, perennial festival favorites Umphrey's McGee and Lotus join The Disco Biscuits and STS9. For lovers of electronic music, Bassnectar is joined by the likes of Wolfgang Gartner, Flux Pavilion, and Dillon Francis.

Other artists scheduled to perform include Macklemore & Lewis, Boys Noize, Squarepusher, Cherub, and Rubblebucket among others. A full list of artists performing at Camp Bisco 2013 can be found here.
