The Village Voice announces today its fourth annual 4Knots Music Festival will be held on Saturday, July 12th from 1-8pm at New York City's South Street Seaport, rain or shine. Manhattan's favorite summer music festival will return with over 10 bands hand-picked by the Voice music team.

Whoever did the booking for the Village Voice 4Knots Festival at South Street Seaport knocked it out of the park. It was a fantastic, eclectic mix of bands and genres, both local and far-flung, performing on two stages, all of whom were immensely talented and put on great, highly entertaining sets.
