Toadflax, they just added Arcade Fire on Friday.
@Toadflax , you like hardcore at all? Wanna hear one of the most accessible hardcore bands ever, and also probably the band that's ever made it the biggest out of that scene? Watch Turnstile:
Caribou is great electronic music. Not mainstream.
Freddie Gibbs & Madlib is a crazy good hip hop set. They've done some albums together.
Richie Hawtin & Chris Liebing are techno DJ legends. Saw Liebing last year and he killed it.
Mannequin Pussy are a great female fronted punk band out of Philly.
You gotta at least watch Doja & SHM/Weeknd's headline sets. I'm sure they will be entertaining spectacles at the very least. But I do enjoy all of their music too.
I echo the sentiments on catching Jamie XX. Dude is a killer producer.
Duck Sauce & Duke Dumont both play more big room house, with Duke Dumont the more mainstream, poppy. Duck Sauce is A-Trak & Armand Van Helden, and they are gonna DJ a killer set filled with tons of classic house feels & DJ tricks galore. You will be entertained.
Thanks for the recs, guys! There's nothing like spending the last few weeks of your thirties being reminded you're not in your twenties! Here's what I caught:
FRIDAY
Bishop Briggs
Arcade Fire
Phoebe Bridgers
Harry Styles (partial)
BADBADNOTGOOD
SATURDAY
Japanese Breakfast
girl in red
Disclosure
Danny Elfman
Megan thee Stallion (partial)
Billie Eilish
SUNDAY
Yola
Run The Jewels (partial)
Orville Peck
Duck Sauce
Fatboy Slim (partial)
Jamie XX
Swedish House Mafia x The Weeknd
At least part of Danny Elfman's set this weekend will be streamed here:
All times Pacific.
Watched a curated hour of sets from Madeon (yuck), RtJ (yay) & Black Coffee (mid) on the stream tonight. Then watched a full Phoebe Bridgers set and teared up twice. She's just magical.
Turnstile will have a curated set on the stream tomorrow. That's a must-watch people!

Of all the festivals announced today, Sonic Temple is the best/most tempting to me:
some heavier fare:
Digging up this thread to talk about Power Trip, which was just announced today.
GA lawn tickets are a whopping $599. $799 for the cheapest reserved seats section. Pretty steep, especially considering most festivals are half the price for like 10 times the number of bands.
Complaints aside, I'm almost definitely going.

Heading to this on Saturday. Spot the (at least 4?) NIN connections!
I count 7 connected bands, but some connections are more loose than the others
Oh. Hot Chip makes it 8.
MGMT opened for nin once in 2008.
The Faint remixed MYM for YZRemixed.
M83 collaborated with Justin MJ on several albums
Damn it! I thought of The Faint and Year Zero Remixed, but I thought I was just confusing them for The Knife and didn't bother to check.
MGMT actually opened for NIN or just played a festival the same day as them?
And yeah, that's pretty loose for M83. They also used to have Jonathan Bates of Big Black Delta in the band, who did some stuff with Alessandro, but I figured that was too tenuous a connection.
I'm on the way out the door to the Cruel World festival down the street from my apt. Siouxsie is headlining. Also, Gary Numan, Echo and the Bunnymen, Adam Ant, Gang of Four, ABC, Boy Harsher, Human League, Iggy Pop, Modern English, Twin Tribes, Billy Idol, Love and Rockets, and a bunch of other stuff that isn't as staggering as that, but wow, what a lineup. I hate festivals, but one day and that's the lineup?
And I'd never heard of Ela Minus, but after checking out her music I'll definitely be seeing her set.
So jealous of anyone going to Riot Fest who get to see not only The Cure - but also the amazing Corey Feldman. Think it must be in the comedy tent
