The Sonoma Harvest Music Festival will not only return to the B.R. Cohn Winery in Glen Ellen for a second year, but organizers are expanding the concert over two weekends, according to an announceme­nt by BottleRock Presents on Monday, June 10.

Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals and Ms. Lauryn Hill are scheduled to headline the first weekend on Sept. 14-15, while Chvrches and Death Cab for Cutie are set to top the lineup for the second weekend on Sept. 21-22.

“The inaugural Sonoma Harvest Music Festival was such a success in 2018 that we’ve doubled the fun,” Dave Graham, partner with BottleRock Presents said in a statement. “The festival will now be two full weekends in 2019, with each weekend offering a unique lineup of terrific artists.”
