If you went to last year’s KahBang music, art and film festival — or you heard about how fun it was from your friends — you’ve probably spent the past few months wondering who is playing in 2011.

The wait is over.

Indie staples My Morning Jacket will be headlining, alongside electro duo Chromeo, New England’s own Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, legendary rap act Atmosphere and fan favorites The Gay Blades. The initial lineup also includes a few more up-and-comers in rock and hip-hop, with many more local and national acts to soon be announced.

Once again, the festival will last for nine days and span across Downtown Bangor. According to a press release, the final lineup will feature around 40 bands for the weekend music festival and KahBang @ Night performances in local venues. Early-bird tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. April 29 through the festival’s website.

The release also stated that more information on artists and tickets will be made available in the coming weeks. Now in its third year, KahBang is only getting bigger. The complete initial lineup is listed below, according a press release. Visit kahbang.com for more information and to keep updated.
