Since its inception in 2007, TIMF has sought to bring attendees a festival-going experience unlike any other, featuring a highly curated yet eclectic mix of music performances with no overlapping sets. In an effort to continue the unique format the festival first created, as well as one that TIMF festival-goers have grown to love, TIMF will feature more hip-hop, electronic, dance and high-energy acts to kick off Day 1, followed by a more laid-back and relaxing vibe with mostly rock, indie and folk performers to close out Day 2 on Sunday.

This year, the festival will proudly welcome performances on Saturday, October 13 from some of the most sought-after hip-hop acts today, including 2018 headliner A$AP Rocky, who continues to maintain his dominance of NYC’s hip-hop scene with the recent release of his third studio album, Testing, earlier this May; Pusha T, the acclaimed Virginia-born rapper and president of G.O.O.D Music (a record label founded by Kanye West) who also just released his latest album, Daytona, this May to rave reviews from critics and fans alike; and Portland-born rapper Aminé, who is best known for the smash hit “Caroline.”

Day 1 performances:

The festival will also include sets from two new and exciting collaborative projects, including Silk City from perennial chart-topping producers Mark Ronson and Diplo; and the first-ever live performance from Laff Trax featuring Toro y Moi and Nosaj Thing. These artists are in addition to acts like Santigold, who is expected to have a new album later this year and who also celebrates the tenth anniversary of her post-pop classic, Santigold, this year, the Grammy Award-nominated neo-soul band Hiatus Kaiyote, and many other notable performers, such as Moses Sumney, Polo & Pan, George Fitzgerald, JPEGMAFIA and Gilligan Moss.

Performances on Sunday will include headliner Tame Impala, who continue to prep for the release of their highly anticipated, yet-to-be-revealed album project which will serve as a follow-up to the modern-day rock classic, Currents; LA-based indie band Lord Huron, who just released their third album, Vide Noir, this past April; UK production duo / 7-person live band Jungle; and El Paso’s own indie rock outfit Cigarettes After Sex, among others.

Day 2 performances:

Set to perform on Day 2 on Sunday are several notable female-fronted groups like beloved folk-rock musician Courtney Barnett, who will be performing in support of her recent album, Tell Me How You Really Feel, released this May; celebrated singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten, who is prepping for the 2018 release of her follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2014 album, Are We There Yet; and noise-pop rockers U.S. Girls. Additional Sunday performers include several notable up-and-coming acts like Alex Cameron, Pond, Shame and serpentwithfeet.
