Lollapalooza 2010: Day One in Review

by Justin Ward on Aug 10, 10

We had our buddy Jimmy Coulas from Scents & Subtle Sounds on hand for Lollapalooza 2010 this year, and he gave us some thoughts each day as he got home. Here are his notes from day one…

It has been a while since I have attended a music festival, but I was very excited for this weekend’s Lollapalooza. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it to the festival on Friday until early evening, but that didn’t stop me from seeing some great music. READ MORE

Post image for Outside Lands 2010: Late-Night Shows Announced

The lineup for the late-nights following Outside Lands were just announced featuring shows from Pretty Lights, Jimmy Cliff, Levon Helm Band, Hercules and Love Affair and Tokyo Police Club. We’ll also be seeing a pre-party at the California Academy of Sciences Nightlife, which is a swank-ass and fitting bourgeois opening to the festival. I keed. I actually really love Outside Lands and it’s been a nice addition to my life having moved out here a few years ago. Radiohead raged the first year, I got to mosh to The Mars Volta last year, and I’m psyched to catch some of the headliners this year followed by Pretty Lights at the Indy. The Levon Helm Gramble will likely be jaw-dropping and once in a lifetime, but I’m not sure I’ll have the funds to rock that party. READ MORE

Austin City Limits is gearing up for a huge television season as well as one of their best music festival lineups ever. They recently announced that Jimmy Cliff, Spoon and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue would both separately be joining the ranks of the musical elite that have graced that stage, and four more heavy hitters were just announced as well…

Austin City Limits has four scheduled tapings around the dates of the Austin City Limits Music Festival:

Monsters of Folk: Wednesday, October 6th
Sonic Youth: Thursday, October 7th
Band of Horses: Saturday, October 9th
The National: Monday, October 11th

These tapings will be held in the Austin City Limits studio (as usual), and any announcements regarding ticket availability and giveaways for the public will be posted on the ACL blog approximately one week before each taping. The sets will air as part of ACL’s 36th season on PBS, premiering this fall. Exact airdates are TBD – we’ll post details as we get them sorted out. We have a few more tapings in the works, so stay tuned for word on those as well…

Nice lineup there. I wonder who else they have planned.

NPR Music strikes wonderfully again; they just announced that they’ll be broadcasting over 40 sets from this year’s Bonnaroo Music Festival beginning next Thursday.

NPR Music, together with three partner public radio stations, sets up camp by the four main stages at this year’s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, presenting three days of live webcasts with dozens of performances from popular musicians. From June 11-13, NPR Music, together with Member stations KUT Austin, The Current from Minnesota Public Radio and WFUV New York, team up to offer more than 40 full sets from acts taking the Festival’s Which, What, This, and That stages, including The Dave Matthews Band, The Dead Weather, Kings of Leon, Nas and Damian Marley, Phoenix, The Avett Brothers, Jimmy Cliff, The Flaming Lips (performing Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon), Norah Jones, Jay Electronica, The Gossip, Dan Deacon, LCD Soundsystem and John Prine.

If you’ve followered their coverage of SXSW in the past, you know that these webcasts (and subsequently archived sets) are top notch. This will likely be a few sets I set my watch to. We’ll post the schedule when we get it.
