If you've been waiting for the venue schedules and lineups for the Viva PHX to be announced, said wait is now over. Stateside Presents, which is co-promoting the one-night downtown Phoenix music festival on Friday, March 7, with New Times, released the set times and locations this afternoon.

Better start planning where you're going to be and when, especially if you want to see any of the bigger acts that are scheduled to perform -- including a few new additions to the event like over-the-top EDM producer Jerome LOL, electronica rock band, and indie artists Vertical Scratchers.

Both were added to the Viva PHX lineup along with a grip of local performers like electronica act Pastries With Teeth, soul artists Larry Bailey and Big Mona, psych-pop band Cherie Cherie, Tucson's O/W/L/S, indie party scene favorite DJ Sean Watson, the ever-eclectic DJ Smite, and others.
