Another year in the books and here was the agenda. Highlights for me included: .fun, The Cure, Mowgli’s, Dawes, Grouplove, The National, and Red Baraat. And then there is Lionel Richie – still not sure where to put this one. Definitely a consumate professional and musician. I knew all the songs and the crowd did too. Having said all that, it’s hard for me to put him in the same category as some previous Sunday closers.
Friday, Oct 4th
Shovels & Rope, Smith Westerns, fun., Depeche Mode, Muse
Saturday, Oct 5th
Autre Ne Veut, HAIM, Silversun Pickups, Little Green Cars, Grimes, Passion Pit, Kendrick Lamar, The Cure
Sunday, Oct 6th
The Mowgli’s, Dawes, Grouplove, Divine Fits, Toro Y Moi, The National, Red Baraat, Tame Impala, Phoenix, Atoms for Peace, Lionel Richie
Post Script…..I felt bad for the folks that got rained out Sunday on the second weekend. It was, however, fantastic to see so many of the scheduled musicians putting together pop-up shows to exercise their chops and reward some otherwise frustrated fans.
