As if big-name performers such as John Legend, Train, Guided by Voices, Guster, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk and Heartless Bastards, weren’t enticing enough, the organizers of the upcoming Downtown Dayton Revival music festival recently announced acts such as The Ohio Players, Robert Randolph & the Family Band and Cowboy Mouth have been added to its diverse lineup.

“With the final additions to our inaugural lineup, I can honestly say our list of performers rocks,” said Matt Luongo, president of Downtown Revival LLC. “From legends like The Ohio Players to the local college band just coming up, festivalgoers will be exposed to the best music out there.”

The festival — which takes place on three outdoor stages in downtown Dayton on Sept. 8 and 9, a Saturday and Sunday — has also added acts such as Buffalo Killers, Good English, Jordan Hull and Gem City Horns to a bill that already includes Rusted Root, Burnt Sugar, Motel Beds, Wheels and The Werks.

“The lineup is so diverse,” Luongo said. “There’s funk, soul, R&B, reggae, rock, pop, jam bands — truly something for everybody. You cannot beat the price, and we cannot wait to fill the streets of downtown Dayton with two days of incredible music.”

Tickets are $75 for a two-day pass and are available at www.downtowndaytonrevival.com.
