Shaky Knees 2024 Lineup

the Saturday is pretty legit..

me thinks these dates almost confirm the Foo for Jazz Fest, Arcade Fire wouldn't surprise me either

also, can't believe they booked that nobody one hit wonder Dinosaur Jr.

Come again?

Barlow and Mascis are alt-rock royalty.

HTF did Noah Kahan go from getting force-fed into my wife's Caamp radio playlist on Spotify to headlining festivals in like a year? Crazy (and I don't dislike him, but it's just nuts how people blow up like that, now... from a TikTok video no less).

He sucks. He's the reason I can't get tickets to Highwater Fest this year. Young people seem to love him. Might have to switch to Shaky Knees especially Saturday.

That is a great lineup. I like a lot of the smaller bands as well

But I was also shocked to see Noah as a headliner. It should be Arcade Fire. But I guess they aren’t going to pull as many as Noah. Is that really the case?!
Seems disrespectful to the established Bands.
But its just Business I guess.
He really should be on the 4th line.
Definitely not above Dinosaur Jr on any day!!

legit lineup

I'm sure Hangover will be better

(you all know this was sarcasm right?)

Yes
Unless you’re into Lil Nas and Yung Gravy
I actually liked a decent amount of the bands last year at Hangout
It’s not the same kind of Festival.

Hangover/Hangout last year
Few good ones trickled in there
Even that Noah guy was there


The Riot Fest lineup this year will be hard to beat for any festival.

Never heard of this guy

I just looked him for the first time on youtube, I know he's the musical guest on SNL so he was going to eventually enter my lexicon - I still have no idea what his appeal is - he sounds like Chris Thile singing about living next to a frat or something, I dunno - again, to each their own

Go look at the guys numbers on Spotify. Unreal. The Highwater Fest usually has tickets available weeks after announcing. They sold out in a couple of hours this year. Also sounds like he would be boring in concert but to each his own

---

I'm curious how the label payola works on Spotify. We listen to a LOT of spotify radio at our house, and he started just getting crammed into every playlist over the last year or so. It was really clear that he was being promoted by the platform.

The Song Exploder podcast on "Stick Season" is pretty good. It has a good story behind it, and he's actually a pretty interesting dude (who actually writes his own music).

But that damned, "I'll drink alcohol til my friends come home for Christmas" is like... the biggest frat party singalong line in existence currently.
