2022 Album Fictional Festival Series: General Festival

I previously introduced this new series, which is a spinoff of previous Fictional Festival series, one only featuring artists who released albums in 2022.  This is the final post in the series and is a general across all genres.  For more information about the series in general, please see this post.

I used Lollapalooza’s lineup and schedule as a general guideline in arranging this festival.  I opted to stray from the format of the other festivals in this series because I find this setup to be more appropriate for this style festival.  As such, the festival is set up in the following manner:

·         There are 49 acts each day and co-headliners on each day.

·         There are 8 stages:  2 main stages, and 6 side stages.  One side stage is called the DJ Stage and has predominantly DJ sets and electronic artists, the other stages are labeled Main 1-2 and Side 1-5.

·         The timing is such that Main Stage 1 and Side Stage 1 each have at most one artist performing at a time, as do Main Stage 2 and Side Stage 2.  The other stages operate independently.

Some differences between this festival and Lollapalooza include the following:

·         I don’t have the co-headliners performing their sets at the same time, which is something that Lollapalooza and other festivals do, but I don’t like.  I have the bigger name on each day performing at a time as one other artist (a DJ set for 3 of the days and a jam act during the others).

·         One of the side stages at Lollapalooza is specifically a kid’s stage geared towards families.  While I think this is a good idea, I didn’t include this due to the nature of the series.  I replaced it with a general side stage, Side Stage 5, but kept the same times for each artist.  As such, the timing on that stage seems oddly spaced out without context.

·         I had times rounded to 15 minutes, so there are likely differences in timing for several slots in the lineups.

·         Due to the way I rounded the times, there are longer gaps between sets at the DJ Stage.  In actuality, I would want it even more extreme than how Lollapalooza sets it up and would prefer it be almost back-to-back sets throughout the day with no more than 5 minutes between sets at that stage.

 

After finalizing the lineup for this festival, 5 artists were replaced for various reasons.  There are also 2 acts with notes related to them.

2025 Riot Fest Lineup Prediction

This year, I decided to create a Riot Fest prediction lineup for fun.  I made it based on a combination of acts who are likely and some other acts who make sense.  I tried to choose acts that would make sense with the budget, though the first few names on Friday and Saturday might be pushing it a bit to have all of them.  I’m not sure how many are going to be on each day, so I went with 30 on Friday and Sunday and 33 on Saturday (there are normally a few more acts on Saturday).  In the last few years, they have had bigger headliners on Friday and Sunday while there is a smaller headliner (or co-headliners) on Saturday.  I feel confident about the Friday and Sunday headliners, though less so about the Saturday one.   Friday Blink-182 Vampire Weekend Weird Al Yankovich Pulp Alkaline Trio Rilo Kiley 4 Non Blondes Franz Ferdinand Fountains of Wayne Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine Hot Water Music Afroman The Sound of Animals Fighting Propagand...

10 Songs that Saved My Life

Recently, the members of U2 released what they called the 10 songs that saved their lives to coincide with the release of their single “Your Song Saved My Life” from Sing 2 .  Since I thought it would be a fun idea for a blog post, I copied the idea and compiled my own list of 10 songs.  While some would try to associate songs with life experiences, I honestly am unable to do that, so I mostly (with one exception) determined this list based on songs that were essential to my musical life.  The first 9 are listed in order that I believe I heard them, though there might be some minor errors in the order.  While it was difficult for me since I had around 70 songs I seriously considered, I chose 10 songs that I think are most important in my life.   “Piano Man”, Billy Joel I tend to doubt that many people remember or can easily identify the first song they ever heard.   I am in the same boat there, though I do have a different sort of memory where I remem...
