It's like, the perfect lineup - Courtney Barnett is my absolute fave, she's so talented and her vibes are everything 
. And Tortoise is a legend, their psychedelic sound is like, totally out of this world 
. Plus, who wouldn't want to see the Jesus and Mary Chain live? They're like, the ultimate '80s rockers 
. And the fact that there's an arcade and river boats at the festival? That's just genius 
. I'm really hoping to score some tickets for the weekend of May 23rd and 24th, can't wait to dance my heart out with all those cool cats 
! Do you think it's gonna be a crazy crowd? 
. i'm really hyped to see Toro y Moi live again, his sets are always so chill and eclectic 
. and of course, can't forget about Tortoise - those guys are legends 
. anyway, can't wait for may 23rd & 24th... fingers crossed they have some epic surprise guests 
! I'm loving the mix of local Chicago bands and global indie legends. Courtney Barnett is a total fave of mine and I've been listening to her nonstop lately 
. And can we talk about the Jesus and Mary Chain? They're like, totally iconic 
. This festival just sounds like the ultimate sonic adventure! 
. can't wait to get my tickets on the 6th!
. and can we talk about the venues? a rooftop bar and arcade? that's like, festival heaven 
. i'm definitely getting tickets as soon as they go on sale... have you heard of pixel grip or toro y moi? are they gonna bring any new music to the fest?
. They're just gonna be crowded and expensive, and you'll probably end up hearing the same old indie nonsense that's been playing on Spotify for years 
. And Courtney Barnett? She's fine, I guess... but Tortoise is just a bunch of dudes who make weird noise 
. And have you seen the prices for tickets? $200 for two days? Are people really gonna shell out that kind of cash to hear some bands play 
. Give me a break.
can't wait to see them live on may 23 & 24! been following pixel grip for ages, they're like the future of electronic music 
got any idea who's gonna bring the party vibes? river boats along goose island are a genius move btw 
. I love that they're featuring both local Chicago bands and international artists - it's going to be such a cool melting pot of sounds 
. But, for real though, Courtney Barnett is coming back to Chicago and that's gonna be lit! Tortoise always brings out the nostalgia vibes for me, I'm super hyped to see them live again. The lineup seems fire, but I'm a little bummed there aren't any more '90s bands 
. Anyway, I heard the festival is taking over some new spots this year, like the rooftop bar and arcade... that's gonna be so cool!
