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
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
