^^are you calling me wikipedia, or saying i looked that up in wikipedia? because i actually listened to the bands i listed and know they weren't around in '93.

^I'm trying to decide if i want to buy tickets for the amphitheater shows or just walk around fayetville street and catch some of the free shows.

^ I just did the free shows last year and had a great time. Can plop your chair down right in front of the stages.

I can't find any schedule or even a lineup, but I doubt I'll buy any tickets.

8/29/2014 2:01:26 PM

From what I can gather, this is the lineup of the ticketed Raleigh Convention Center Shows (not amphitheater like I said earlier)

And this appears to be the free shows, although no line-ups are announced

Anyone else going to the Shindig? I'm going...not super pumped though : /

9/3/2014 2:23:22 PM

I'm going as well.

9/3/2014 2:26:24 PM

My friend bought a bunch of tickets because they were so cheap and found out she has to work. So I guess I'm going and have like five free tickets.

Weezer is the only reason I'd go. Foster the People might be entertaining live. Fuel had a few decent songs back in the day.

9/3/2014 2:46:48 PM

got 'em cheap too...could sell for a ~$170 profit but I'll take a bunch of people instead.

Just saw Weezer and they were kinda meh. Excited about FTP but that's about it at this point.

This is not true.

Also, the last half-decent Weezer record was Maladroit. Even it's 12 years old at this point.

9/4/2014 12:34:00 AM

I really just hope that Weezer plays a lot of their old stuff (pre 2000). I like a few songs by FTP and Fitz, and around 7-8 songs by Fuel. I got my ticket for $12 so I can't really complain regardless of how the show goes, haha.

9/4/2014 8:49:08 AM

After checking the schedule, I really don't see any reason to show up before 3 pm.

9/5/2014 1:53:14 PM

^^ they sure did at the DPAC...and i'd imagine they'll do the same sunday - http://www.setlist.fm/setlists/weezer-33d6a4f9.html

i'm with ya on the 3pm thing

9/5/2014 2:01:38 PM

Very nice. Any combination of the top 22 songs on that list works for me.

9/5/2014 2:23:48 PM

unable to go, but damn, that line up

9/6/2014 4:08:52 AM

Question about aftershows anyone that's been to ACL before...

A couple of the official ones I want to see are sold out, and the prices on stubhub are either outrageous or nonexistent. Is it pretty difficult to get into a sold out aftershow? Are there a bunch of unofficial aftershows that get announced day of that I'll have a chance to go to?

9/30/2014 4:59:02 PM

BTTT

2015 is just around the corner. My tentative plan


Merlefest
Shaky Knees - Atlanta (May) - this one is probably not gonna happen with Hangout the very next weekend.
Hangout Fest - Gulf Shores, AL (already booked and bought)
Forecastle Fest - Louisville, KY (July)

12/9/2014 11:37:07 AM

ridiculous lineup

12/9/2014 11:50:58 AM

^^ Louisville is boring. bring your ass to Targhee Fest in July

12/9/2014 8:46:02 PM

^my buddy's girlfriend's sister does live in Jackson Hole

12/10/2014 8:02:09 AM

NO Jazz Fest Lineup was released this morning. Hangout Fest is coming this afternoon, Bonaroo on Tuesday and Shaky Knees on Wednesday. Below is the NO Jazz Fest bill

1/12/2015 12:53:00 PM

Bonnaroo lineup coming out band by band, will post the whole thing when done. But it's stupid good this year IMO

1/13/2015 8:21:08 PM

more artists coming, but I'm pretty disappointed in Treefort thus far. I've heard of exactly one of the bands

http://treefortmusicfest.com/lineup

1/13/2015 9:34:11 PM

The Hangout Fest lineup is intriguing. Right near my dad's place too. He won VIP tickets a few years ago through mobile's radio station, still living myself for not making the trip down there to join him

1/13/2015 10:08:57 PM

1/14/2015 8:15:02 AM

meh to that bonaroo lineup

1/14/2015 8:35:29 AM

seriously? i'm floored by it. Diff'rent Strokes.

1/14/2015 8:48:04 AM

The first four lines are shit. A lot of the rest is really good. But I'm assuming that all those bands will be doing pretty much every festival and wallowing in the heat for three days isn't my idea of fun anymore. I've done it once and that's enough for me.

1/14/2015 8:53:41 AM

there are definitely some gems in there, but the headliner list doesn't blow me away. Not that I wouldn't want to see Billy Joel, Kendrick Lamar, Robert Plant, the other headliner names on there aren't really doing it for me.

1/14/2015 8:55:12 AM

Yeah...i guess if all you are really looking at are the headliners as to whether it's a strong lineup it's not that impressive this year. but headliners are never really what i look forward to at things like this. So i agree, the first 3-4 lines aren't that jaw-dropping. But the meat of the undercard is fantastic.

I'm hoping Hangout will add 5-6 more bands before all is said and done. But i'm really looking forward to that trip.

Shaky Knees in ATL is releasing their lineup at noon. Will post when out.

1/14/2015 9:12:13 AM

different strokes indeed ..... the hang out line up looks amazing to me, and id go to bonaroo just for plant and bassnectar


in other news EDC Puerto Rico has a gret line up as well

1/14/2015 9:25:14 AM

That bonnaroo lineup is incredibly underwhelming

1/14/2015 9:45:46 AM

Decent lineup, but not exciting enough to get me to drive out there again.

1/14/2015 9:48:12 AM

If Ratatat gets added to the Hangout Fest lineup, I might meet you in Gulf Shores Jeepin4x4

1/14/2015 12:05:42 PM

Avett Bros are one of my favorites, and I'd love to see Trampled by Turtles. Plus it's like a 30 minute drive for me so that's a plus

1/16/2015 12:13:50 AM

TBT are heavy on the festival circuit this year which is great. I won't be able to do all of MF this year but will definitely be there one day.

1/16/2015 11:29:45 AM

Which ones are you actually going to Jeepin4x4?

1/16/2015 11:59:53 AM

one day of Merlefest, Hangout Festival, and hopefully Forecastle Festival in Louisville, KY.

1/16/2015 12:41:25 PM

my neighbors are huge fans of Rubblebucket, said that they are amazing live. another good act at the Hangout Fest that might not jump off the page at you

1/16/2015 12:42:39 PM

Cool. We're going to try to make Shaky Knees

1/16/2015 1:13:26 PM

I had a blast at Shaky Knees last year and really recommend it. It's moved from Atlantic Station to Central Park (where Music Midtown used to be) so i think it'll have more of a festival feel being on the grass. But it's honestly one of the most well planned festivals i've been to.

Last year we stayed at the GT Hotel & Conference Center and there were a lot of festival attendees there. Made for a lot of fun and the rates were very competitive.

1/16/2015 1:40:48 PM

Just got back from Merlefest, it was awesome. I was actually a little disappointed in Trampled by Turtles. Most of the band was great, but the fiddle player's solos were for the most part obnoxious, terrible, or obnoxiously terrible. When he was playing with the rest of the band he was great. They played my 3 favorite songs well though (Victory, Alone, Wait So Long) so I'm happy with it.

Hot Rize was fantastic though, and Bela Fleck might be the most talented musician I've ever seen live.

4/24/2015 12:35:11 AM

Newport Folk Festival...probably gonna be it

4/24/2015 1:07:51 AM

Anyone doing Tour de Fat in Durham this June? Looks like a lot of fun and I like a lot of their beers.

4/24/2015 12:27:53 PM

Maybe...http://www.newportfolk.org/lineup

Someone tell me which day(s) to go

6/29/2015 3:51:48 PM

where are you getting tickets

i want to go so bad but the secondary market for a full pass is ridiculous

6/29/2015 3:55:29 PM

I usually buy dailies off CL

6/29/2015 4:09:31 PM

Saturday, Sunday, Friday


though it's realllll close.

6/29/2015 4:30:50 PM

I'm going to Pitchfork this year because it meant a summer trip to Chicago.

burger a-go-go 2 lineup is fun. KATHLEEN HANNA + KIM GORDON + CATHERINE POWER!
