South Street Seaport to Host Village Voice 4Knots Music Festival

MANHATTAN — Manhattanites won't have to schlep to Coney Island to enjoy the Village Voice's summer music festival this summer.

After celebrating their 10th anniversary on Coney Island last year, the Voice will bring its annual indie-rock concert to the South Street Seaport on Saturday.

Formerly known as the Siren Music Festival, this year's event has been dubbed "4Knots," after the speed of the East River that surrounds the Seaport.

The Black Angels and Titus Andronicus will headline the event, with Davila 666, Oberhofer, Eleanor Friedberger and Mr. Dream scheduled to perform.

The outdoor performances will be held on Pier 17 from 1-8 p.m., but late night revelers can rage inside the 4Knots Indoor Lounge from 2 p.m. till midnight.

Yeasayer, Dan Deacon, Finger on the Pulse, Punches and Brahms will perform DJ sets at the 21+ lounge, located at 210 Front St. near Beekman Street.

Admission to both the indoor and outdoor shows is free to the public.
