Cloud Nothings, the Cardigans’ Nina Persson and Quantic are among the first batch of artists announced to play Oct. 16-18 at the fifth annual Culture Collide, the first of the internationally flavored series that will go off without the imprimatur of Filter magazine.

Filter announced last month that it is folding, with the company’s partners Alan Miller and Alan Sartirana each launching his own music/lifestyle brand. Miller’s is Culture Collide, and it is under those auspices that bands from all over the globe will converge on Echo Park in October. Culture Collide has also announced an expansion to include festivals in San Francisco and New York City.

Wristbands for the weekend are $30 and available here.

With shows staged at venues such as the Echo, Echoplex, Taix and the Echo Park United Methodist Church, among others, Culture Collide in the past has offered a reliable vehicle, and relatively affordable, vehicle for music discovery.
