The fifth annual installment of the Amplify Decatur Music Festival will spotlight the Indigo Girls, along with Son Volt, The Cactus Blossoms and Michelle Malone.

The show will be a homecoming for the Indigo Girls, whose roots are firmly entrenched in Decatur. It’s also the first time Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have headlined an outdoor festival on Decatur Square.

This year’s festival will take place April 25. Tickets are $55 (general admission), $155 (VIP) and $275 (Premium VIP) and are available via amplifydecatur.org and eddiesattic.com.

Proceeds from ticket sales will be directed to Decatur Cooperative Ministry to support their ongoing efforts to prevent and alleviate homelessness in Decatur and DeKalb County. Amplify has raised and donated more than $235,000 to DCM since 2011.
