As the bard Rob Thomas once said, "Man, it's a hot one." Capitol Hill Block Party has been a scorcher in two senses. Beyond just the literal heat, the artists on the lineup for this year's little neighborhood gathering have really brought the heat. From JPEGMAFIA's mosh-pit kicking off the festival and Mitski's avant garde table-performance through Perry Porter's paint party and – of course – Lizzo, there's been plenty to keep festival-goers braving the temperatures for stellar music. KEXP has been stationed up at Retro Fit Home on the festival grounds while our photographers have captured some of these electric moments. Stay tuned for more photos and recaps later this week! - Dusty Henry
