I'm not going to weekend one so I didn't post about the bands only playing that weekend. Also, I don't post about bands I've seen or that I'm already familiar with. This "blog" is really just a note-taking spot for me to use as reference during the festivals as my memory isn't so great. It's great for me but it doesn't cover some of the better choices for anyone else that reads this (anyone?). In light of that here is a quick rundown of my best recommendations for Weekend one. These are mostly bands I've seen before.
Friday:
1pm Erin Rae: mellow singer-songwriter. She has toured with Jenny Lewis.
1:15pm Sam Fender: earnest pop/rock sound. I enjoyed his set at SXSW. He seemed very down to earth despite his talents. I expect him to blow up soon.
2:45 Cherry Glazer: Don't miss this. We saw them at SXSW and I loved them. Kick ass rock. She can shred on guitar.
3:30pm Tyler Childers. He has blown up. Well deserved, too.
Saturday:
Weekend one before 6pm has lots of bands that are different from weekend two and I haven't heard of many of them. I haven't seen anyone so I can't help much. There's only one band I really like:
2:15pm Men I Trust. Nice indie pop grooves. I've never seen them but love their sound. I wish they were playing weekend two.
Sunday:
12:30pm Julia Jacklin. I've posted about her before: here and here.
2pm IDLES or Joseph. Joseph if you want to kick back and relax. IDLES if you want to get motivated to run through a goddamn brick wall. Any band with a song called "Never Fight a Man with a Perm" is worth checking out. Here's their set at Glastonbury. No kicking back to relax at that show.
5pm Billy Strings. Bluegrass on speed. Extraordinary. Go to 2:09 in the video. He's not to be missed.
7pm Lizzo. Very fun. She puts on quite a show.
