Past INmusic Festival lineups & sets (Archive)

I wish the lineup for Sons and Daughters was better—if they were playing alongside Cave, I’d at least be down to go for a single day.

Listening to Tinariwen while having a beer sounds alright, and cracking open some Stereo with a brew? Not bad at all.

Serj is honestly a total joke. He’s got a killer band, but as a person, he’s just nothing.

Back in the day, Prodigy was basically the anthem for every kid whose ultimate dream was a tuned-up Volkswagen Golf and an outfit consisting of nothing but tracksuits and leather jackets.

Cyril has basically turned into a sugar rush on a candy bar.

I bailed early from work yesterday just to make sure I hit Biljane on time, and honestly, they totally made up for my vibes from the day before. It wasn't crowded at all, so we had zero issues dancing right up in the front row🤣 though some guy standing by the stage was driving me nuts, messing with gear and setting stuff up... I don't get why he couldn't have done that before the set started...
Atheist rap got the crowd moving even though it started pouring during their set—we didn't let the rain stop us. Things went absolutely wild once the Warburg limousine sound kicked in👋

After Atheist, I bolted home to change because I was soaked, and since I live right near the lake, I didn't want to catch a cold...
I swung back out for a bit to catch Armenac (not even sure what his deal is) and headed over to Stereo. Man, I got chills hearing Connected... it was just beautiful. They were a little dull toward the end of the Stereo set, but those two backing vocals really kept me wanting to dance...

Checked out Prodigy, but they weren't as high-energy as they were last year at Exit, though the show itself was still solid...

You can tell I'm already back at work😁 so I didn't stick around to hear the guy from Leb i sol finish, but on my way home, I popped into the tent and decided I definitely need to track down his album. I love that brass sound, those trumpet players are everything. Makes me think maybe instead of a traditional band, I'll hire some guys with trumpets when I go pick out a bride...

Anyway, the second day saved the festival for me. Not just because of the music, but because I actually decided not to drink like I did at Cave, where I was just talking trash about everyone and embarrassing my girlfriend. She loves Cave, but she couldn't enjoy it because of me... luckily she forgave me yesterday, and I’ve decided no more vodka after I've already had a few beers...

Either way, those low-key bands surprised me again, while the big headliners are just the usual stars...

I'll weigh in with my own review—I've got some serious gripes with the organizers, though I have to say Cyril was great and Dreadzone was excellent too. It’s just a shame because the Black artists absolutely crushed everyone else on stage this year.

Look, he wasn't talking about his people being wiped out or anything like that—I'm not buying that. But honestly, any hint of political commentary involving Bush or whatever else just rubs me the wrong way.
Everyone acts like such an expert, yet they know nothing. $1.75 That wouldn't be affordable for most people.

One more thing I need to get off my chest: I am absolutely fed up with Serj, his entire band, and their crew. Honestly, what is with those hour-long soundchecks where they just blast Rage Against the Machine? And as for Guns N' Roses and their roadies—leave me out of it entirely.

Wow, you’re quite the impatient, cool guy, aren't you?

Actually, I’m the guy who was forced to listen to that against my will.

Drew Adams58 said:God almighty, give me strength.

Man, you atheists are something else. 🙄
You really had to go there with the swearing. 🤮

Elizabeth Mendoza43 said:man, you atheists are absolutely unhinged 🙄
seriously, had to drop the Jesus line, huh? 🤮

😱

where the hell is Elvis?😢

Amanda Patel said:I honestly agree with every single word here, though I have to make one tiny correction—it wasn't my jacket that went missing, but rather another piece of clothing altogether. 😁

So, was that bra of yours perhaps something a friend of yours just happened to find lying in the mud? 😬

dustyscout said:and oh yeah, Liam absolutely crushed it with all those shifts, the breaks, and everything else.

Liam. 😍

The little genius. 🙏

Elizabeth Mendoza43 said:Man, you atheists are absolutely out of your minds. 🙄
Did you really have to bring Jesus into this? 🤮

😳 Honestly, I could just tell them to go jump in a lake.

I’m actually dying to know how their set actually went—like, did they kill it? How much did they get paid, and what was the turnout like? 🙂

Now this guy is probably gonna think I'm just trying to start something or bait him into a fight.

Michael Newman50 said:I'm actually curious about their performance style, what their booking fee was, and how big the crowd turned out to be.🙂

Now, this person is probably going to think I'm just trying to start something or get under their skin.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for a fight.😁

Screw you, meathead 😁

Come on, at least tell me how many people showed up? I’m just gonna assume the other two were... 👍
