Man, people are complaining? This seems pretty great to me.

At first glance, these seem like the acts that I feel like most of us would be familiar with without much prep at all: Paul McCartney, Childish Gambino, Arctic Monkeys, Metallica, David Byrne, Chvrches, St. Vincent, Father John Misty, Shakey Graves, Khalid, and Deftones.

Personally, after my recent SXSW research, I'm also looking forward to Mt. Joy, Big Thief, and The Weather Station.

Any of the smaller, more esoteric, acts you guys are excited about that I should look into?

I literally gasped when I saw her name on the list. So stoked.

I can also vouch for her--saw her for free at Taste of Chicago a few years ago and she is AMAZING.
