Lightning in a Bottle Festival Announces New Lineups

Lightning in a Bottle has announced the musical lineup for the Compass area of the festival and the workshop and panel lineup of its Crossroads space. The announcement comes a week after the first round of speakers and workshops were unveiled for the new educational HUB of the festival.
