As has become a national pastime…. your mileage may vary with this group of artists. If you’re like, “I Don’t KNOW ANY of the bands!” then this festival isn’t for you. And that’s OK.
Personally I’ll be on the Island that weekend, though I might be able to hit the Friday and/or Sunday depending how the schedule shakes out. There are a bunch of bands I’d be amped to see.
I am LOVING the new Haim song. It feels like a demo or a tease of what’s to come. But it is still a pretty song. I like it.
MGMT will be a thing! Muse, Future Islands, Eagles of Death Metal, Pup…are all bands I haven’t seen live and I’d be done to get into. Lots of hip hop artists I play in my DJ sets…would be cool to get into their live show and see what they’re all about. That Chance the Rapper record, Coloring Book, is great.
There a bunch of acts on here i have seen….I think I saw Major Lazer last year? Didn’t they play Pemberton? I dunno. Current Swell is amazing, Said The Whale, July Talk, K. Flay, Dirty Radio, Rural Alberta Advantage…they’ll all be great.
Nelly? C’mon! I’d ride with that. Dude is a staple of my Match sets.
Go with yourself.
