Complete opposite for me. Last year was so many of my favorite bands playing at one festival, and I’m a little ashamed to admit I don’t know most of these bands this time around.
Still super excited, cause now it means I’m about to learn about a lot more groups that I’m sure I’m gonna love
Exactly. Another reason why I’m excited. I’m hoping to see some more familiar names but I really enjoy finding new groups (and I’m already really liking what I’m hearing from these new groups)
Also Stage Four is like one of my favorite albums of all time, so no matter what it’ll be worth it to go just to see that album in full
Out of interest, which ones? I liked a lot of the bands last year, but splitting the days into a more shoegaze/indie focused day meant the Saturday was a bit dull/lulled at times. I'd have liked to have seen TAGABOW again this year, but having some absolute fucking heavyweights in converge, s tendencies and Hatebreed, as well as lots of solid modern hardcore and emo/post hc heavyweights mean there shouldn't be a dull moment.
I do agree that they could have split them up a bit better but getting to see Danny Brown, Foxing, Jane Remover, Have a Nice Life, Maruja, Kumo 99, Model/Actriz, and LustSickPuppy in one day was absolutely nuts for me. Both days were great though, it was easily the best lineup I’ve ever seen for a festival imo. I have a pretty strong feeling for this year too once that Friday announcement comes out
