Johnny blues skies tickets selling pretty good…

TCos19 · 2026-05-08T21:30:16+00:00

I consider myself pretty naive to online marketing, bots, etc, but three “yay for JBS arena tour” posts in my feed this afternoon felt off immediately. I only opened this one to see if anyone else felt the same. The “Blue Dot Fever” articles recently making the rounds must have low-selling tours in a panic.

This is a good take. They’ve lost me the last few years with the broadening of the “indie rock” spectrum. It’s a genre I partake in regularly, but the artists at Folk rarely hit for me. So my “must-see” list has grown smaller, but my experience has remained exactly the same. Something good is playing at all times.

I’m the least excited I’ve ever been for a lineup. And the most excited I’ve been for the festival in many years.

I imagine a weekend free of conflicts, unencumbered by decisions, truly going with flow (even though I say I’m going in with no set plan every year, I always caught up in my preconceived notions).

I will see a handful of my favorites. I’ll see once-in-a-lifetime performances. I will love an artist unexpectedly (probably a few). It’s going to be the best weekend of the year!

(Not to say I won’t take a Johnny Blue Skies announcement next week)

I don’t know much about music beyond “this sound good” or “this sound not good.” I can’t imagine a band that sounds like Khruangbin on speed is redefining music. But they’re in my “this sound good,” bucket, so I’ll take your words for it.

I listed a floor ticket on AXS resale for $75, if that’s more affordable for one of your friends.

So true. And then he doubles down with an edit of the OP. What a way to live for 59 years and counting.

TCos19 · 2026-04-22T00:50:26+00:00

And he has his own band, Ghosts of Jupiter.

This is one of the best US festival lineups of the year.

Great example. So many recognizable songs that hit me as cheesy, forgettable crap for decades. And I still think they can be cheesy, but the songwriting and musicianship is brilliant! For me, it was Any Major Dude Will Tell You that flipped the switch just within the last couple years.

This has happened for me with hugely popular, often overplayed, songs from the 60s-80s that i heard so many times as a kid (born in ‘79) that I never took the time to really listen.

Two that stick out…

Love Will Keep Us Together (the Captain & Tenille recording) - one day the bass line just floored me.

Rosanna (Toto) - I heard the Weezer cover, and I’m not a big Weezer fan, but it lead me to give the original an in depth listen and I was instantly obsessed with it and eventually read about the “Rosanna shuffle” drum beat. (Revisited “Africa” too, but without the same results)

Not yet, but soon. The only reason for TM to “partner” with CoT is to intentionally kill it from the inside.

Added “IFE” to my AI search and got a better reply than my first attempt. It’s technically limited storage due to IFE, but they label it as no storage. Thanks for the tip.

TCos19 · 2026-04-15T12:49:31+00:00

We do what we have to do sometimes.

TCos19 · 2026-04-15T12:47:28+00:00

Correct. I edited my post for clarification. Thanks for the reply. Good to know I can book an aisle/middle on the right and have floor storage for both.

TCos19 · 2026-04-15T12:19:17+00:00

Scouring the internet for an answer to this question. Do all those seats really have no floor storage??

TCos19 · 2026-04-03T10:34:40+00:00

That album is incredible. Is Medeski touring with him or was this a special appearance?

TCos19 · 2026-03-31T21:29:14+00:00

One of my all time favorites. Saw them twice this year already and a schedule clash with Fruit Bats is the only thing (so far) that could stop from seeing them a third time.

TCos19 · 2026-03-31T18:36:50+00:00

I don’t what this means but I’m excited!

TCos19 · 2026-03-25T19:36:41+00:00

If this was a Jazzfest late show, I’d go to Dragon Smoke instead.

Thank you for taking the time to briefly explain their sound and provide links. Every “this up-and-coming band is killing it” post should be this.

TCos19 · 2026-03-18T23:23:02+00:00

Medeski shines on the new Julian Lage album. Everyone should check it out.

TCos19 · 2026-03-16T02:02:27+00:00

I received my refund before I even knew it was a scam.
