independent thoughts on indie rock, alternative, and indie pop music
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.
Suwannee Hulaween has completed its 2026 lineup with new additions, special collaborations, and four days of music at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. We take a closer look at the headliners, deeper lineup, costume themes, immersive art, and what festivalgoers should know before heading to Florida.
Bonnaroo 2026 continues taking shape with the release of the full schedule, expanded late-night programming, Outeroo additions, SuperJam details, new camping concepts, updated ticket options, and more ahead of June on The Farm.
After seeing more than 600 live sets and shows in 2025, these are the performances that stayed with us. Spanning rock, Americana, electronic, hip-hop, pop, country, and everything in between. From small rooms to festival fields, these are the shows where everything aligned.
