This looks neat!
amazing
excited that it looks like the twin cities are finally getting another attempt at a multi-day fest. c3 is bringing the minnesota yacht club festival to harriet island, the same venue live nation ran river's edge back in 2012. there was supposed to be a five year committment, but live nation bailed on that after year one. as an attendee it was a great experience, though, so i am hopeful this will be just as fun.

Solid Sound lineup is out, and it's solid! Will be my 4th time going to this fest, one of my favorites. In addition to 2 nights of Wilco, excited to see Isbell, Wednesday, Iris Dement, Mikaela Davis, Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, etc. And of course, Tweedy and Friends to close it down.

I was going to say that they're older than you and me but they formed in 1981. I feel like I've always been aware of them existing but I probably haven't heard any of their songs.
The 2024 Boston Calling lineup is very Meh to me.

So am I, Never heard of any of them. Bonnaroo is really a something for everybody festival in my opinion, because I don't know half of the acts.

Boston Calling feels like the culmination of a lot of booking trends I haven't liked of theirs over the past like five fests or so. It used to be a two day fest with really steady, deep lineups and perhaps not amazing headliners, but such good undercards that you could go at nearly any time and if you stayed four hours you could see 8 performers most of whom you might know and like. They moved to a new location that was larger and jacked up the prices (as did all fests) and began by improving headliner quality while, slightly, reducing undercard quality but also added a comedy and/or film tent to supplement. Post COVID, that went away so they could upcharge that area as a "sit down and drink" location, and they added a fourth local stage. Each year the undercard gets more and more unknown and they try to sell tickets and hit homeruns on the headliners. This year LiveNation took over and now we're here where once you get 4-5 artists deep, you're meeting a huge block of unknowns and local artists with a few gems in there.
It's a bummer - I definitely miss the old fest.
