It may not be free, but the city of Raleigh's new Bud Light Cityfest is pretty close. The five-show series at the Downtown Raleigh Amphitheater will kick off next month and run into October, with each show costing $5 -- a price that includes any and all extra service charges. Based on the first two acts, it looks like the lineups will be along the lines of the old Raleigh Downtown Live free-show series. Dates and acts are still coming together, and so far they've announced two of the five headliners:

Aug. 27 -- Ed Kowalczyk (formerly of Live)
Oct. 1 -- Rusted Root
