Drake Headlines concert for national mall

Drake will be making headlines at a musical festival in West Potomac Park in September. There will be a variance of acts at the event for the eclectic music aficionados. The Strokes, Band of Horses, Wale, and Ex Hex are a few of the acts slated to perform.

Washington will be moving and shaking with these musical combinations. However, there is a greater cause at hand. Proceeds from the Landmark Music Festival will be attributed to the renovation of the National Mall. Tickets are already on sale for the event and range from $100 to $150, according to The Washington Post. Hopefuls who wish to win a ticket can expect an announcement in the next few days regarding a giveaway of 1,000 free tickets.  

The festival is expected to draw over 50,000 people to West Potomac Park, September 26-27. The full performance list from the Washington Post is below.
