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.
Friday at Hulaween 2026 brought unexpected discoveries, a spectacular My Morning Jacket performance, and the nighttime transformation of Spirit Lake. From AK SPORTS' blistering techno to surprise sets from Of The Trees and LYNY, the day offered far more than we'd ever managed to squeeze into our schedule.
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.
Suwannee Hulaween 2026 is just around the corner, and organizers have unveiled even more reasons to get excited. From artist-led Hula Hangs and new Spirit Lake installations to festival experiences and expanded food options, here's what's new before the festival returns October 22–25.
Seattle's True Loves are bringing their instrumental funk and soul to Suwannee Hulaween 2026. What started as a three-person jam session has grown into a seven-piece band with a horn-heavy sound and an energetic live show. Get to know the group and hear their single “Dopus No. 1.”
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.
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.
Saturday at Hinterland felt like a return to the festival’s roots, with folk, Americana, country, and indie rock taking center stage. From Waylon Wyatt and CMAT to Santigold, Jessie Murph, and a huge Mumford & Sons finale, the day mixed familiar sounds with plenty of surprises.
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.
Hinterland expanded to four days in 2026, opening with a Thursday lineup that constantly shifted across genres. From Porch Light and Frost Children to Ashnikko, beabadoobee and KATSEYE, the festival's first day became an exercise in music discovery.
