Ted Leo, Cults to Headline Wicker Park Fest 2013

Organizers are slowly revealing musical acts for Wicker Park Fest 2013, with Cults and Ted Leo & the Pharmacists signed to rock out on stage this summer on Milwaukee Avenue.

The annual event will unfold July 27-28 from noon to 10 p.m. on Milwaukee Avenue from North Avenue to Paulina Street. Presented by the Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce, the event is free, but there is a suggested $5 donation to support local schools, nonprofits and small businesses.

Wicker Park Fest draws more than 60,000 people to Milwaukee Avenue each year for the music-based event.

New York City-born band Cults will bring its indie flair to Chicago for the event with a performance on July 27. In addition, American rock band Ted Leo and the Pharmacists will also headline over the weekend on July 28.
