independent thoughts on indie rock, alternative, and indie pop music
Saturday at Hulaween 2026 was a marathon of bluegrass, bass, and unexpected discoveries. From Tire Fire and HEYZ to Daily Bread, the Warren Haynes Incident, and Pretty Lights, we raced between stages before finding even more surprises in Spirit Lake.
Our first day at Hulaween began with Richard Finger, the very act that brought us there. From AHEE's unexpected set to Riordan at the Amphitheater, Crankdat's massive crowd, and Excision's laser-filled spectacle, Thursday gave us plenty to talk about before exhaustion finally won.
Let's introduce you to Tire Fire ahead of Hulaween 2026, including their bluegrass-fusion sound, latest single “Doom Cocoon” & our fave “Flight of the Phoenix.”
Hulaween 2026 is less than a month away, and plenty has changed since our first preview. We dig into the newly released set times, stacked daily schedules, camping options, airport transportation, VIP upgrades, and a few details still waiting to be revealed.
