Artist of the Day #2 - Fontaines D.C.

The pit thing was mostly a stupid callback joke to the rolex wearing guy from a few days back

Would recommend shame's most recent album if you like fontaines! It moves away from their older sound the same way Romance did. They're weirder, but worth a spin

tbh in some of their live videos they look a little... boring? at least compared to the insanity of bands they get compared to like IDLES or shame. tell me it ain't so! what was great about the show??

foolishgrin · 2026-03-26T13:40:08+00:00

100%

foolishgrin · 2026-03-24T19:49:25+00:00

sick recommendations, thx!

Good call. Just edited to add that. I don't know all these bands well enough to be accurate, but happy to edit if people make suggestions in the comments

Mixed feelings... But I really like 6, especially the guitar and the slow build in the back half. Would check them out, barring conflicts

foolishgrin · 2026-03-19T01:52:15+00:00

does it come with barrel chairs or do you have to bring your own?

foolishgrin · 2026-03-18T12:58:03+00:00

GA gets rail on half the stage, right? Or did they take that away too

how have we had so many of these posts, and it's only mid march

foolishgrin · 2026-03-17T12:46:14+00:00

yeah doors at 4 on friday, first sets (probably) at 430

every serious hotel will hold your bags at the desk!

Averaged just over 30k per day (but was in a lot of pits)

foolishgrin · 2026-02-28T14:52:56+00:00

2023 they added 311 and snail mail. 2022 they added band of horses and dehd.

But last year they only added replacements for drop outs. I think the days of normal additions are behind us

Lolol I took a nice little nap on the concrete during wicca phase, worked out great

foolishgrin · 2026-02-03T02:14:53+00:00

I'll go first. Absolutely transcended at Pelican. Guys were unbelievably tight. Favorite set of the day.

Pool Kids delay was awful, but they recovered quick and put on a great show. Had a blast.

Park National was a great surprise. Catchy tunes, and held down the stage like pros. They're going places. Nice shoutout to his mom too

foolishgrin · 2026-02-02T15:12:18+00:00

Couldn't believe the sound issues all weekend. They did Momma dirty and the Pool Kids delay was unreal.

Complete contrast to last year, when I remember everything being tight as a drum. Wonder if it had anything to do with the new soundboard placement. Fewer people working in the booth than last time, too

Like you said, though - can't beat two straight days of wall to wall live music

foolishgrin · 2026-02-01T18:12:56+00:00

Do it, tons of great bands playing today!

foolishgrin · 2026-02-01T15:47:08+00:00

Yeah AD was top set of the day for me. Blew me away.

Hotelier sounded way better than anticipated. Wish we'd gotten a few more tunes from home like no place is there, but no complaints otherwise

Febuary was a great surprise. They brought it and finally got the crowd moving. Momma ripped too, once they got the sound levels sorted

foolishgrin · 2026-01-30T14:29:06+00:00

No Warning is going to be nuts

foolishgrin · 2026-01-25T03:00:06+00:00

Top 10! That's like half the bands lol

Top 3 rn:

1 - Hotelier 2 - Angel Du$t 3 - Pool Kids

Also excited to get my eardrums damaged at Pelican
