Hopscotch Music Festival is returning to Raleigh from September 8th to 10th, 2022.
The main concerts are taking place at Moore Square, 226 E. Martin Street, and City Plaza, 400 Fayetteville Street, Raleigh.
28 bands are performing over the three days at the two stages.
Please read on to see the schedule for the main stages, which are ticketed, as well as the information about many FREE shows all over Raleigh!

Although the tickets to the main event, at Moore Square and City Plaza, don’t quite qualify as “Triangle on the Cheap” cheap, they’re well worth the ticket price. A wristband for Thursday is $79, a wristband for Friday is $79 and a wristband for Saturday is $89. A 3-day wristband is $175.
In addition, you can buy tickets for the shows at just one of the two stages (Moore Square or City Plaza) for one day. Those tickets range from $39 to $40.
In addition to the official Hopscotch festival shows, which we’ll list below, there are a number of FREE Hopscotch Day Parties at a wide variety of Raleigh venues, as well as some free late night venue shows. Read on to learn about the day parties and free venue shows, but first we’re listing the shows on the main stage, which you do need a ticket for.
