Line up for the 2016 XPoNential Music Festival

Brandi Carlile, Ryan Adams, Kurt Vile and Alabama Shakes headline the 2016 XPoNential Music Festival, July 22-24, 2016.

The three-day rain or shine outdoor event features more than 30 artists, including headliners Ryan Adams, Kurt Vile and the Violators, Alabama Shakes, case/lang/veirs, Old Crow Medicine Show and Brandi Carlile.

Performances will take place on three stages in two venues: BB&T Pavilion (the former Susquehanna Bank Center) and Wiggins Park.

Concerts for headlining acts will be at the Pavilion and this year a Friday night show has been added to the schedule.

And just announced this week, legendary soul vocalist, Mavis Staples has been added to the lineup.

Staples will join other established and emerging acts, like Shawn Colvin & Steve Earle, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Femi Kuti on the Marina and River stages in Wiggins Park.
