A first Saturday sesh will see Valley and Birds of Bellwoods perform, with Monowhales, Cartel Madras and Real Estate rounding out the second day.

"We started the Liquid Art Festival as a way to embrace everything that Collective Arts is. We want a beer fan to learn about new music, and a music fan to fall in love with craft beer," Collective Arts co-founder Matt Johnston explained in a statement. "We want to be tastemakers in all that we do, and we're really excited to bring this lineup as the soundtrack to the festival this year."
