Livestreams of major music fests have become an increasingly popular in-home offering in recent times for fans who can’t attend in person. And though they started off as a pretty basic and straightforward affair, they’ve become significantly more advanced in the last couple of years, as the pandemic forced musicians and concert promoters to…

In our decade-long history as a site, 2020 was, for obvious reasons, the first year we went without attending any music festivals. And though a handful of fests did manage to make their return for 2021, we took a second year off, both for safety and because some of the events we regularly cover…

When we first put together this guide to track changes, cancelations, and postponements for the 2020 festival season, it was back in mid-March, still in the early days of public and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic, when so much of the future seemed wholly uncertain.

The first week of April really flew by, huh? Spring is really a fantastic time for music. With so many great shows, record releases (not to mention Record Store Day), and another East Nashville Underground right around the corner, we seriously can’t wait for all of the great music the next few weeks will…

Why any major festival would announce its lineup on April Fool’s Day is beyond me, but based on the all of the leaks in recent weeks, we’re going to count this as official. Lollapalooza has announced its 2013 lineup, and it might just be the most exciting festival of the summer! The fest will take place…

Back in our 2013 Bonnaroo Lineup Rumors speculation post, we examined the possibility of seeing Nine Inch Nails or, equally likely, Trent Reznor’s new project How to Destroy Angels on the bill. We now know that didn’t happen, but HTDA did end up on the Coachella lineup and Reznor had been hinting at another big announcement…

Lollapalooza just announced the launch of a completely revamped “Lolla Remix Throwdown” for 2012. Entrants to this year’s competition will have a chance to win a spot on Perry’s Stage at Lollapalooza, as well as prizes from Red Bull, Ableton, and Dubspot. So, here’s the deets. Between May 23rd and June 24th, artists can…

Nashville related highlights include The Black Keys, Jack White, Jeff The Brotherhood, & Chancellor Warhol.
