They're no longer the little radio station that could: This is a big concert.

We knew in June 2012 that Summer Cut, KXT 91.7 FM's wildly successful festival, would be back in 2013. Today, we got word on the lineup. And it's good:

• The Avett Brothers
• Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
• Matt & Kim
• Dawes
• Hayes Carll
• Milo Greene
• RTB2 (from Denton)
• Oil Boom (from Fort Worth)
• The Orbans (from Fort Worth)
• The Roomsounds (from Dallas)
• Fate Lions (from Fort Worth)

The Happy Funtime Fest, as it's called, is Saturday, June 1 and takes place at Gexa Energy Pavilion. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, January 25 and can be purchased at livenation.com.

VIP tickets, for $100 each, will get concertgoers "a GREAT reserved seat," a concert T-shirt, a poster, and access to the air-conditioned VIP lounge. The added A/C might be worth the ticket price alone. Details on those here.

Last year's inaugural Summer Cut was an important moment for the radio station. It featured The Flaming Lips, St. Vincent, and several local acts, and it cemented KXT's prominence in indie music in Dallas.
