I've seen ten of the 19 bands on that bill live and had a fine-to-fantastic time at all of them.

if this constitutes posting in the "worst festival lineups" thread, what constitutes a "good festival lineup" by ILM standards? 🤔

The most (personally) tantalizing part of the Just Like Heaven poster = "Performing Apologies to the Queen Mary"
― search term: buttrock (morrisp), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 00:49 (two years ago) link
I love the Just like Heaven lineup unironically. I’d definitely go if I lived in California. Sure, probably anyone who gives a fuck about those artists is in their mid to late 30’s in 2021 but I’ve seen several of those live and they were great fun. Particularly !!!, Chromeo and Santigold. Who knows if they still have it 15+ years later but they were good live in their prime. MIA and Modest Mouse were not that memorable when I saw them in primaverasound 2007.

Xxpost: mid 30’s to mid 40’s then? Lol
Xpost: In the mid 00’s there was Creamfields which started in the UK and had several 90’s acts attached to it. I’d definitely buy tickets for a 90’s thing too.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 01:16 (two years ago) link
1. I've gone to my fair share of shows and I was at the right age for the peak of most of those artists and the only ones I've seen live are Modest Mouse (M&A era - my first show actually, yes I started going to shows late) and maybe Wolf Parade? I'm not sure if I've seen the latter but there's like a 65% chance I've seen them
2. so is Goldenvoice just gonna start a festival for every age demographic? have they started one for little kids yet where it's just Pinkfong headlining every night?

The Love the 90’s festival in Madrid just happened a week ago. Need to read some reviews on it, the lineup is sort of deliciously tacky:

Here’s the updated one:
https://www-wakeandlisten-com.cdn.ampproject.org/ii/AW/s/www.wakeandlisten.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/love-the-90-madrid.jpg
I think the main problem here is that most of the artists featured are one hit wonders. I’m all in on the concept though. If you make a 90’s festival with say, Christina Aguilera, Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls headlining that shit will outsell Coachella in seconds.

Oh my bad! A bit disappointed that there are not all 90’s acts! I thought that was sort of the concept of the festival!

I feel like this Just Like Heaven festival does an amazing job of capturing the feeling of bands I’ve seen (in the mid ‘00s) and enjoyed but mostly because those were the concerts my friends wanted to go to, and they were kind of the group consensus? There are a few in the mix that were more my taste, but seeing the funnel of time winnow things down into a refined snapshot gives me a hint of nostalgia and a greater hint of “oh, this is what it feels like”
― mh, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 15:19 (two years ago) link
This fest looks bad-ass, basically the ultimate throwback line-up of acts that long ago perfected the 45-minute long cash-in festival set.

that's Drakeo The Ruler, recently released from a couple of years being held in solitary in a supermax prison on completely fictitious "rapping about murder" charges, hours after the DA prosecuting him was voted out.
The case of Drakeo the Ruler embodies everything fucked up, morally reprehensible, & systematically racist about the US criminal justice system.If you're just following this case, they've locked up Drakeo's entire rap crew on charges ranging from murder to commercial burglary & vandalism. Using fascist gang and conspiracy laws, they're holding them w/out bail and trying to use their lyrics against them in court.The D.A. isn't even saying that Drakeo committed the murder in question, or even ordered it. They're claiming that because he went to a party with the alleged intent to kill someone (and didn't do it), he's culpable for everyone's crimes who he went to the party with.The D.A. is claiming that the Stinc Team, one of the best LA rap crews ever is a gang & by rapping about the Stinc Team, Drakeo's songs are recruitment advertisements for "the gang." Therefore, he's also guilty of any crime anyone in the Stinc Team commits. It's absolute insanity.Anyway, free the ruler and the whole Stinc Team. Cold Devil stays the best rap album of the last two years. Fuck the LAPD and the LA Sheriff's Department, etc. It should be unreal that this shit could still happen in 2019 but here we are.

that looks dire
the local paper said this of a recent Vince Neil gig at a similar festival
The band started out with "Looks That Kill" and transitioned to "Dr. Feelgood," where Neil forgot some of the lyrics to one of Crue's most famous songs."I felt physical pain watching this," said one commenter on a clip of the performance posted to YouTube.And the show didn't get better as the night went on. When performing a cover of the Beatles' "Helter Skelter," Neil struggled to keep up with the song's tempo and lyrics. Commenters pointed out that the singer was reading the lyrics off of a printed out sheet of paper taped to the stage, and joked that the 60-year-old singer still wasn't able to keep up.

if i were more cool i might know some of the supporting acts but since i'm not and i don't it's fun to think of them as just people the poster designer/festival organizer knows who volunteered to get onstage and noodle around before the bands arrive
"gayle's gonna do a monologue from her one-woman show! and lanie, she's bringing her ukelele, it's gonna be lit!"
