independent thoughts on indie rock, alternative, and indie pop music
Sunday at Shaky Knees 2026 saved some of the weekend’s biggest fun for last, with Jet, Santigold, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Wu-Tang Clan, LCD Soundsystem, and the Gorillaz set we had traveled to Atlanta hoping to see.
Saturday at Shaky Knees 2026 swung from brutal heat to a full weather evacuation, with memorable sets from Elio Mei, Geordie Greep, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Peach Pit, and Blood Orange in between.
Friday at Shaky Knees 2026 gave us Geese, a ferocious Turnstile set, Alice Phoebe Lou, Danny Elfman’s wild career-spanning performance, and one of the most focused Strokes sets we have seen. It was an easy reminder of why we make this annual trip to Atlanta!
