Something new is coming to Pittsburgh in October. From the VIA site —

VIA is Pittsburgh’s first-annual music and new media festival presenting a weekend of performances by musicians, DJs and producers blurring genres of electronic music, alongside visual artists working at the forefront of video, game design and live music visualization.

The event, taking place October 1-3, promises to bring a new sound and cutting edge electronic art to Pittsburgh. Some of the program VIA has lined up will be staged at the Iron City Brewery, located at Liberty and Herron Ave, just a short step from Polish Hill.

The program is comprised of local and national talent, showcasing the newest sound available. It promises to be an extravagant production and includes some workshops, as well as an exciting line up of electronic media artists.

Staffski will, of course, remind all of Polish hill’s denizens of the event as it approaches. In the meantime, the VIA 2010 site has links to their performers and artists. You can also check into their Facebook page and get their updates directly.
