202(6) Music Festival Thread - Lineups dropping

Haha looks like a good one

 

They just announced this is cancelled. Seems odd so far out.

 

This is honestly a damn good lineup. Stepping into a Time Machine to go to the GOAT era of indie rock.

 

Would love a similar lineup for Shaky Knees, but I wonder if they plan to scale up with move to Piedmont?

 

Come to salt lake folks. It is a fun festival. I’ll be there for at least a day or 2

 

Yaaa no

 

I can smell that lineup

 

Reading and Leeds - woof that has started going down hill

Kilby looks a lot of fun, debating a trip to SLC

 

I would rather attend CPAC than this.

 

I will be there for Friday, not sure about the thursday night show. Sunday looks fun too, but I can't swing it.

 

I will be going to that Saturday...

 

Gross. I see this one getting cancelled soon

 

oh no. That used to be such a good lineup every year.

 

Cullman really going places!

 

There’s just too many festivals now and most suck

 

Osheaga is a blast to go to, hopefully the lineup will come through and make it worth it.

 

maga hat required for entry

 

Seems like the festival industry is in a weird space right now. Post covid- all the big festivals got right back to it with big crowds I believe. People were hungry for live music.

Others saw that and a bunch more festivals were created. Some may have seen early success but it seems like the majority of festivals are struggling now. Even long time, big name promoters/events.

Live music as a whole has followed right along with inflation I think. Insane prices out there. Has the bubble begun to pop? Will it crash soon?

 

what about Escape Rooms?

 

probiotic soda brands are the new selzer / canned cocktails which was the new craft beer

 

Those things are everywhere. They keep them stocked at my office. I grab one once in a while.

 

Every time I go to sprouts there is a new brand of them on the shelves. My wife likes an Olli Pop every once in a while. There used to be three brands on this corner, now there are like 16

 

That Boston Calling lineup may be the worst I have ever seen for a big festival.

 

Boston Calling is hilarious

 

How are these festivals going to know who to book after TikTok is banned?

 

Going to Electric Forest this year (first time, even though I live in Michigan), Burning Man, and thinking about M3F because I’m in AZ for the next 3 months.

If anyone wants Coachella VIP tickets for weekend 1, I’m trying to sell 3 of them and will do so below what I paid for them. I just don’t think I’m going to be able to go this year.

 

How else are we going to do forced TEAM BUILDING!

 

Finally decided on and got tickets to Kilby. First time to visit UT. Will be sort of my 50th birthday party even though it’s a week after it. Hoping the logistics of leaving at night to get back to the hotel aren’t too bad. I much prefer the hotel within walking distance or walking back to a campsite.

 

there is good transit to and from the fair. look for a hotel right next to a stop for the rail line.

 

Thanks. We got one right across from the Delta Center. Looks like there is a stop there.

 

Will be in Aspen for Palm Tree. Should be a sweet

 

Great festival

 

I need to go to it. It’s always such a good lineup. The different venues festival kinda throws me off though.

 

This one is a single location, although it can get a bit cramped

 

Did they change it back or am I thinking of the wrong fest?

 

This is pretty great

 

Levitation Fest in the fall is across a bunch of venues on Red River/East Austin.

Levitation also promotes and puts on Austin Psyche Fest

Yes, it's complicated.
