With SXSW veterans Poison Control Center and Death Ships; Vibe magazine's best Iowa rapper Young Tripp; and one of Spin magazine's artists of the day Radio Moscow — who will return to Des Moines for GDP after their European tour.
In addition, GDP is packed with performances from Dirty Little Rabbits, Leap Year, North of Grand, Only, The Vandon Arms, Maxilla Blue, Finding the Warren, Steven Robinson and the Foundation, Deified, and The Autumn Project.
GDP continues to be the premiere local music showcase for Iowa bands. Since 2006, GDP has featured esteemed acts such as The Envy Corps, On a Pale Horse, The Lifestyle, and Facecage to more than 1,000 fans.
Music fans spanning all genres come together for one night of local music to celebrate all the talent, variety, and camaraderie of the Des Moines music scene.
"Every year the goal of Gross Domestic Product is to expose a variety of exceptional local musicians to a larger audience," says Amedeo Rossi, Greater Des Moines Music Coalition project manager. "We look forward to this event continuing to shine a light on the growing music community in Iowa."

Strange, PCC is supposed to open for Cursive but they're at this event tonight in DSM, too? They must be playing first in DSM?
Any logistic information, SCOPErs?
They played in Iowa City then drove down for GDP.
Yeah, I ended up asking Ephraim.
Apparently they went on right after the Slipknot side project (Dirty Little Rabbits) and had another solid set that went by far too quickly.
