In its ninth year, Northside Festival has emerged as one of the city’s most exciting showcases for local and national talent. Taking on a multipronged approach, the fest takes over Williamsburg and the surrounding areas to present a combination of indoor gigs and big outdoor concerts, as well as talks, block parties and a new series on political journalism from June 7 to 11. A music badge sets you back $85, and individual tickets are also available (some shows are free too). Here are the relevant summer concerts you shouldn’t miss.
