The lineup for this year’s SnowGlobe Music Festival has been announced!
As we wrote about earlier this week, the bands that have been added on this lineup reflect a bunch of the teasing the promoters did to entice people to buy tickets to the three-day NYE 2012 outdoor celebration in South Lake Tahoe. We’re psyched to see middleweights like Childish Gambino, Big Gigantic, SBTRKT, Emancipator and Paper Diamond all on the bill; read on for the full set of artists that will be appearing. READ MORE
The organizers over at SnowGlobe Music Festival have started “leaking” out the names of the other bands fit for the bill. While they say it’s not official yet, this post on Twitter implies that they’re clearly not really concerned with making it obvious or not. They tweeted out names of bands and links to YouTube videos they like, and the official press release will be coming tomorrow.
Then they said this:
In addition to the already announced headliners of Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, Thievery Corporation and The Glitch Mob, the folks putting on the festival will (probably) be adding the following artists:
Kraddy, Blockhead, Dillon Francis, Mux Mool, NastyNasty, Antiserum, Big Gigantic, Porter Robinson, Ill-Esha, Eliot Lipp, Fishbone, The M Machine, & Tipper
Sometime today the official headliner announcement is going to come down from the team at SnowGlobe Music Festival, a New Year’s Eve three-day music festival celebration in South Lake Tahoe, CA that just jumped on my radar. I am all over this festival, though, so I was quick to jump in with their PR team and ask for the deets ahead of the rest of the general public info leak.
Thanks to their team getting me the info just in time for the release of the morning Tahoe papers, I’ve got it on proper and official authority that Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, Thievery Corporation and Glitch Mob are all set as headliners for the three day event. For any Bay Area fans that are looking for the untz that weekend, the team putting on this festival is bound to deliver a full-on rager of a lineup with at least 40 more bands scheduled to be announced.
We’ll be rounding up all the details on New Year’s Eve shows early next week to make sure everyone knows where they should be planning to rage face. Some decisions seemed easy before and now they seem more difficult…
Update: here is (likely) the rest of the lineup…
Kraddy
Blockhead
Dillon Francis
Mux Mool
NastyNasty
Antiserum
Big Gigantic
Porter Robinson
Ill-Esha
Eliot Lipp
Fishbone
The M Machine
Tipper
Run DMT
Satellites
However, Saturday was when the full realization hit that this fest really was about as grab bag as a musical gathering can be – headed up by the fact that the SoCal Punk Retrospective was going down (out of the three bands, X was the strongest, delivering an impressive evening set on the Bingo! Stage) the same day as the New Orleans Bounce Azzstravaganza (a well-choreographed riot and a blast), Snoop Dogg and a main stage/mid-afternoon Mastodon rager
The Original Meters – 6:15 p.m. – Le Flambeau WWOZ Stage
The announcement that the Meters would be re-forming for an extra special set at Bonnaroo alongside Dr. John (where they performed his classic album Desitively Bonnaroo) got me hoping that the quintessential funk quartet would have enough fun to get together for a few shows and possibly be in the mix at Jazz Fest. It turns out we wouldn’t have to wait ’til May to see these guys return to their hometown. The Meters performance on Sunday is definitely one of the biggest pieces of live music news to hit the Big Easy music scene all year and this will mark the band’s 3rd festival appearance this year (Bonnaroo, Outside Lands and now Voodoo) in City Park in late-October. The seminal NOLA funk band haven’t appeared in New Orleans since headlining Jazz Fest in back-to-back years in 2005-06, so a big applause to Voodoo for making this happen. Just hoping the WWOZ Stage area is big enough to handle what should be a very large Sunday crowd.
It’s a busy couple weeks at Tipitina’s Uptown, providing ample options for those looking to accent their Voodoo weekend and Halloween festivities with some live music. The big run of shows kicks into gear tonight with the Papa Grows Funk record release party. Tomorrow night, Rebirth Brass Band will be in the house and as usual Bruce Daigrepont’s long-standing Cajun Fais Do Do dance party is going down at 5:30 on Sunday for those looking to cut a rug.
