Pleasantville Music Festival Line-Up Announced

The lineup for the 2024 Pleasantville Music Festival has finally been revealed. 

This year's just-announced musical line-up includes a Main Stage performance by Festival headliner, Better Than Ezra, known for their 1995 mega hit 'Good' as well as phenomenal live shows. Other Main Stage acts include the electrifying and bluesy, West Coast 'roots-rockers', The Record Company, and a band long considered reggae royalty, The Wailers. Also appearing will be Brooklyn indie rocker-Margaret Glaspy, and a band known as N.E.D. (which stands for No Evidence of Disease). They are made up of top-notch Gynecological Oncologists from around the country, including Dr. Gizelka David-West of Northwell's Northern Westchester Hospital.

This year, the Party Stage is being headlined by The Collection, a fun, alt-pop band out of North Carolina. Earlier in the day, catch Talon, an all-female alt rock band based out of Brooklyn (but with roots in Armonk), the bluesy and funky Mojo & the Mayhem (with roots in White Plains and Rye), Dead Tooth, a hard-rocking, punk outfit from Queens (with roots in Warwick, NY), and Widely Grown, an upbeat country/Americana band (with roots in Bergen County).

This year's Chill Tent Stage is being anchored by witty and charming headliner, singer/songwriter, Jill Sobule. She is most known for 90's hits like 'I Kissed a Girl' (not to be confused with the Katy Perry song of the same name) and 'Supermodel' (from the movie 'Clueless'). That stage will kick off at noon with something new - a set of children's music from Bedford, NY native, Kenny Green. Later performances on that stage will include delicate brother/sister harmonies from Peekskill's Plane Station, jazz and blues from Bergen County's The Robert Hill Band featuring vocals from Chester, NY's Rae Simone, plus, respected and much loved Wilton, CT-born singer/songwriter Jesse Terry.

The only acts yet to be named are the three winners of the ongoing Battle of the Bands competition taking place at the home of the competition's sponsor, The Garage at Lucy's. The next round of finals will take place there on the afternoon of May 5th.

Now in its 18th year, the Pleasantville Music Festival, presented by Northwell Health, is known as New York’s Backyard Jam. It's become a must-attend summer event for the whole family, with great local food and drink, a warm positive vibe, and of course, world-class rock. Tickets to the Pleasantville Music Festival are available through Ticketweb or in person on the third floor of Village Hall, 80 Wheeler Avenue in Pleasantville during specified times.
