independent thoughts on indie rock, alternative, and indie pop music
The lineup brought us to Hulaween 2026, but the community made us want to stay. From A Hundred Drums and Geese to one last dance at DEF Off Limits, our final day reminded us that the best festival memories aren't always made in front of a stage.
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.
Hinterland’s final day refused to settle into any one sound. From Haute & Freddy and Wet Leg to Young Miko and Kali Uchis, Sunday bounced between pop, rock, rap, and everything around them before Die Spitz and Gouge Away closed out the weekend.
Friday at Hinterland brought everything from SOFIA ISELLA's unforgettable afternoon performance to a rain-soaked Lorde singalong, before ending with a packed Campfire Stage dancing with Ninajirachi well after midnight.
After a busy festival season, we're heading somewhere new. About an hour northeast of Nashville, PossumStock 2026 brings independent artists, camping, and late-night music to the Red River, and we're excited to see what has brought the festival into its 11th year.
Weather delays threatened to bring Bonnaroo 2026 to an early close, but Sunday ultimately became one of the festival's most memorable days. From Nat Myers and Big Gigantic to LSZEE and Noah Kahan, the music won in the end.
Saturday at Bonnaroo 2026 was packed with impossible schedule conflicts and unforgettable moments, from Waylon Wyatt and Amyl and the Sniffers to Alabama Shakes, Kesha’s SuperJam, Sara Landry, CloZee, and a sunrise finish with Gorgon City!
From Lambrini Girls' unforgettable mud pit to Goldie Boutilier's cinematic performance, Dora Jar's artistic unpredictability, and Blues Traveler's timeless jams, Friday showcased the many sides of Bonnaroo.
Little Image’s Nashville stop at The Basement East paired songs from KILL THE GHOST with immersive lighting, a crowd-level B-stage, and emotionally direct alt-pop hooks.
