tSunday at 5:30pm. They were at ACL in 2024. Preview here. We saw Orville Peck instead. They're my first choice. Three of the four bands at this time are out of L.A. Just an observation.
We know their big songs. Here are some of their newer songs.
"Starlight" is one of the first songs on their most recent setlists. Later Fleetwood Mac feel.
"Carousel" is chill. Good late afternoon festival tune.
This is the next to the last song on their setlists before they play "Fire for You" (Great song).
Sunday at 5:30pm on the Beatbox stage. She played ACL in 2021. Preview here. We opted to see Amber Mark instead.
Per Wikipedia:
In December 2024, she revealed that she is facing an international boycott due to her Israeli nationality: "I really wish it was just one case, but the list kind of keeps growing. It’s not for anything that I said, it’s simply because I was born where I was born.
Despite that she has still opened for Florence and the Machine and Pink and is playing both Coachella and ACL.
"Vandalist" is from her last album. I like it.
"Dumb" is fun.
This is her latest single. Fun lyrics. Of the two rappers on at this time she would be my choice.
Sunday at 5:30pm on the BMI stage. From Wikipedia:
Lauren Sanderson (born January 13, 1996) is an American singer and songwriter originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana, currently based in Los Angeles. Her music blends influences from pop, R&B and hip hop,
She wrote a brief bio about herself. I won't paste it so go read it here if you're interested.
"COME SAY SUM" features Fred Durst. I doubt you'll like it.
"Smoking Section" is from her latest album. The chorus is catchy.
This is more mellow.
Sunday at 5:30pm. This band from L.A. played ACL back in 2016. I don't remember seeing them. Preview here. Wikipedia says their "music has been described as everything from dream pop to progressive indie."
Here are some songs I didn't post on my last preview.
"My Type" is their biggest hit.
"Get It At Home" is from their latest album.
Can't say I know much about them. Catchy tunes, though.

Max Winter McNown was born in West Linn, Oregon and later moved to Bend, Oregon. He graduated high school in 2020 and attended college for two years. In August 2022, he moved to Southern California and learned guitar.
As this article states:
He has 12 Million monthly listeners on Spotify. He hasn't been mentioned at all on savingcountrymusic.com.Max McNown erupted onto the country music scene just recently, and his momentum hasn't slowed. It's been quick...He gained attention on TV talent shows like American Idol, and while he thought at first that would be a great avenue to get his music out there, he quickly decided he needed to cut his own path — a more unique path.
He moved to Nashville and hasn’t looked back since.
"Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)" has 12M views on Youtube.
"Love Me Back" is pretty good.
"Forever Ain't Long Enough" is a good road trip video. It features his real-life wife. Tear jerker at the end.
This was the breakout on TikTok. Definite Zach Bryan vibe.
