posted by Marjana Jaidi on June 09, 2012

After an unfortunate cancellation last year due to Hurricane Irene, Afropunk is back in full force for 2012. The festival has announced the dates for their 8th installment, happening August 25-26 in Brooklyn's Commodore Barry Park.

Erykah Badu featuring the Cannabinoids, Janelle Monae, Toro Y Moi, Reggie Watts, and Gym Class Heroes are among dozens of artists that will take the stage at this free - yes, FREE - event.

Can you think of a better way to close out the summer? Consider our calendar marked.
