Past INmusic Festival lineups & sets (Archive)

When can we actually expect some announcements?
This is getting ridiculous at this point. o.O

Kevin Chavez3 said:Thank God they aren't coming, then.

Festival gigs are usually way cheaper than solo shows, so I'm still holding out hope they show up.

Anyway, the Metal Stage is easily the most intense part of the whole thing.

I’m counting on them to kill it.

Actually, playing festivals can easily cost you three times more than just booking a standalone gig...

The National are kicking off their tour, and honestly, they might just...

Playing festivals tends to be significantly more expensive—sometimes up to three times the cost of doing solo gigs...

... and you often end up playing sets that are twice as short... ☕

As far as I know, there aren't any festival tours lined up, and whether they'll show up at one of those massive festivals is still anyone's guess.🤷

Since we're talking about Americans here, there’s just no way anyone’s making enough money to justify flying all the way across the Atlantic for a single gig in Europe.

it wouldn't be the first time either...

I mean, what's $4,000 or $5,000 for flights when you're looking at a $50,000 concert budget? It's basically peanuts.

You might get some small-time knockoff band showing up here and calling themselves the real deal, but honestly, that’s rare. I actually knew a group once—the kind of act that usually commands a solid $10k to $15k per gig—that had the audacity to ask for a cool $100k just for a single one-off show at a bar.

When you start factoring in the hotel stays, hospitality riders, travel, and the cost of renting backline gear, the price tag for touring acts jumps up pretty significantly.

Once you factor in the hotel, hospitality, travel, and backline, the costs for touring acts jump way up.

The first thing that comes to mind is Sonic Youth. Back in the summer of 2003, they flew all the way from New York for just two shows in Europe (one in Belgrade and some tiny village in Finland)... yeah, stuff like that happens.

Since Mando confirmed Hurricane/Southside just a few days after Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, I wouldn't be surprised if some big promoters bought them out from Arsarmia and brought them over to a major US festival circuit instead.

On another note, Kawasaki 3P has been officially confirmed.

Wait, weren't they already playing last year?

Yeah, they're playing again.

Susan Clark10 said:Yeah, they're back at it, playing again.

It's kind of pointless, ☕ honestly.
