Worst ever festival line up?

looks like the former domain redirects to the latter

I stand corrected, the main domain redirects but their stone one does not so they typo'ed it

fwiw it's hosted by the new york young re publican club and only lists the location as "little italy"

Russia vs. Ukraine Burlesque:
Dance battle & hors-d'oeuvres

Wtf?

probably best not to look too deeply into that

They got Chinese Spy Balloon to spin records? That guy's been around for ages.

I am not really comfortable with how much that poster amuses me.

imagine going back to 1993 and telling Suede that in 30 years they'd be joint headlining a festival with John Major

The KITE 2023 line up so far.

Which sessions will you be attending? Where will you be dancing when the sun sets?

I’ll be dancing to Sir John Major as the sun sets

Festivals of ideas must be stopped.

"Polly Toynbee & Darren McGarvey"

the cannon & ball "odd couple" of centre-left political debate, brought in to shake things up a bit. They finish the set with a storming rendition of "together we'll be ok".

Just giving fodder to hecklers, this festival

"Here's an idea - get the fuck off the stage!"

Got to imagine the folks running Wilderness were utterly raging when that fest launched last year. Same utterly middle class "early 40 somethings with their posh kids" vibe, same sort of lineup mix, same demographic, very similar graphic design...

an event and not a festival but wow this is lit

We're thrilled to share the all-star lineup for A Capitol Fourth! Don't miss the live broadcast on PBS at 8/7c, Tuesday, July 4th.

the sponsorship is *chef’s kiss*

Renee Fleming getting a Kennedy Center honor is the worst government-bestowed honor since Rush Limbaugh was gifted a Presidential Medal of Freedom

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff were good when I saw them open for GBV.

props to the post-post-post-ironic youngster who put this together for them but this sounds like the worst thing

some of the 4th-tier britpop nostalgia fests on this thread probably have more ideological diversity

Can't believe they don't have any California dates!

Kite Festival is absolutely bizarre

Probably a competition clause in effect, which means Biden is probably headlining Coachella and Lolla next year.

Joechella

Kamalapalooza

Gathering of the Joegallos

Vilstock

I kind of want to start a band called Marcia Fudge now

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff were good when I saw them open for GBV.

I've actually seen several folks on that bill, including Emhoff, in a club setting. You gotta catch em on the way up...

I was there when Joe Biden started up his first campaign.
I told him, "Don't do it that way, Jack. You'll never make a dime."
I was there.

https://trnsmtfest.com/line-up

I live close enough to this that I can hear it, but not close enough that I can hear it clearly. Just a sludge of middling indie music in the background all day.

Just knew this thread bump would be for Trnsmt.

I went for Radiohead the first year and they were great, but the experience of the festival was predictably pretty horrible. I would have liked to see Pulp, but not enough to try again.

One of the most heterosexual lineups ever made

The only acts I’m familiar with in that lineup are Pulp and the 1975

Could not name a single song from anyone playing on Saturday

these bands do not exist

The atmosphere looks firmly like a festival I would not enjoy, the line-up has no appeal for me, and being in Glasgow while it is on feels actively unpleasant. But I think it's just an age thing - I'm really happy that this happens in the city, on the doorstep, and we don't have to exile people to a country park in Lochnowhere for something like this. I'm all for the eighteen year olds getting tanked up on cheap cider and living their best student anthems life, we all had to do it!

smh trying to pad their lineup with acts who don’t actually exist like “Bob Vylan” and “Boys”

uh Bob Vylan exist and are brilliant

was gonna say!

yeah, i properly enjoyed that.
never heard of them before.

The Royston Club are the Wrexham band tipped by Gigwise as “the new band from Wales most likely to do a Catfish”The Royston Club are the Wrexham band tipped by Gigwise as “the new band from Wales most likely to do a Catfish”The Royston Club are the Wrexham band tipped by Gigwise as “the new band from Wales most likely to do a Catfish”The Royston Club are the Wrexham band tipped by Gigwise as “the new band from Wales most likely to do a Catfish”

yeah sorry y’all are great and have good taste and etc but I’m not listening to “Bob Vylan”

that’s okay, there’s always Hayley Zalassi

Murgatroyd, I can agree that it isn't a good name, but you really are missing out.

Yeah, that song is cool

Bob Vylan absolutely rules

ok ok I don't know about the lineup but there's a Rock festival for kids here in Belgium called... https://www.kidrock.be/

I hope kid rock the entertainer gets extremely upset about that
