The New York City boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn will play host to the Across the Narrows festival on October 1 and 2.

A variety of indie-rock heavyweights will take part in the multi-day festival, held simultaneously at Brooklyn's Keyspan Park and Staten Island's Richmond County Bank Ballpark. Arriving at the tail end of festival season the multi-band gathering will likely help establish Coney Island’s Keyspan Park as a hot New York destination. In the past few years, the minor league stadium has hosted a variety of acts including Phish, the White Stripes and Bjork.

Artists scheduled to appear at the festival’s Brooklyn offerings include The Pixies, Gang Of Four, Built To Spill, Rilo Kiley, Death From Above 1979, Mando Diao, Nine Black Alps, Beck, Belle & Sebastian, The Polyphonic Spree, The Raveonettes, Gang Gang Dance and Whirlwind Heat.

An equally impressive and eclectic offering will take place in Staten Island with The Killers, New York Dolls, Interpol, British Sea Power, Tegan and Sara, The Ordinary Boys, Lake Trout, Oasis, Jet, Doves, The Lemonheads, Kasabian and Jesse Malin all scheduled to perform. A number of additional acts will be added to the Across the Narrows lineup in the coming days.
