George Michael said sex is best when it involves two people (one-on-one, to be exact). Well, music isn’t too shabby for bands that are two strong, either. The fellas in Grand Rapids-based math rock duo Charles The Osprey is putting some of the area’s top acts on display.

The third annual Fes2Val: It Only Takes Two is a one-day festival celebrating bands in a variety of genres that share one common element: each band has two members. The show is slated for Saturday, Aug. 27 beginning at noon at the Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids.

Held each year in a non-traditional music venue, Fes2Val is an all-ages event. Sponsors this year include The Meanwhile Bar, Vertigo Records and REVUE West Michigan magazine.

Tickets are $5 (advance) and $6 (day of show). Beer will be available for 21+. There will be an official after party for Fes2Val at the Pyramid Scheme, which will be hosting the Still Remains reunion show the same evening.
