Is it just me, or are rock festivals getting incredibly predictable with their lineups each year? For example, the 2009 Lollapalooza lineup contains over 20 bands that I’ve seen already. Maybe I just spend too much money on shows, but either way, it’s hard to find a festival lineup these days that doesn’t recycle the same tired list of indie rock headliners and opening acts.
Luckily, the Big Sur Festival from Kemado, Mexican Summer, and (((folkYEAH!))) promises to feature bands that you will likely never find on the Lollapalooza main stage. These confirmed headliners include:
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti
Dungen
Farmer Dave Scher
Gang Gang Dance
Kurt Vile
Saviours
VietNam
Wooden Shjips
Woods
The festival goes down on Saturday, August 29. Tickets are $29 and available via Big Sur’s website. Take that, Perry Farrell!
