It's missing a Paul Simon or Danny Brown but literally every act booked could (and I'm pretty sure has) played Eaux-Claires. If we're talking non-Lolla-style bookings Melt-Banana is probably the only one EC's had (off the top of my head, granted).
I would argue the musicNow stuff is also very much in EC's wheelhouse, too.

Oh well. Y'all have fun experiencing that fest from a port-a-potty because you decided to eat Skyline chili. I would go to a fest that was just Incubus and Skyline Chilli

I think Feist is a good booking. My biggest disappointment with this announcement is that it's very predictable otherwise.

I feel like this discussion is pointedly ignoring the MusicNow sets. Also, Alvvays only just put out their second/best album in the fall. they cost extra unless you buy a VIP. Its a concurrent festival

From a gender perspective The National festival is diverse with The Breeders, Feist , Julien Baker, Alvvays and Big Thief. That’s 50% of the lineup. That National fest is basically cat nip for white people. My cats always get excited at catnip, though, not drowsy.

Pretty sure that the only acts that have played ExC are the National, Feist and maybe Moses Sumney if I'm remembering correctly.

My biggest disappointment with this announcement is that it's very predictable otherwise. while i do like the lineup, yeah i think it's becoming noticeable that the national's booking ability just extends to "our friends and bands we tour with" so it becomes very easy to predict (like ya'll already can tell Annie and Justin are gonna be there) also why i cant really remember much a difference between eux claire lineups from year to year

Its a concurrent festival Sure, but it is curated/run by Bryce Dessner. I'd argue it less if it had no connection to The National.

I would argue the musicNow stuff is also very much in EC's wheelhouse, too. lol the main stage at Eaux Claires last year featured a 16 piece german experimental orchestra doing two sets, a mexican folk pop superstar, a john prine tribute featuring Swampp Dog, 3 hip hop sets, a ambient folk set and Paul Simon doing a one off performance with an experimental classical group. it also had wilco, feist and perfume genius let alone 5 other stages of experimental folk and noise programming running against it

i think it's just those 2 locations back and forth and they keep expanding and restricting the areas around them depending how many stages they need that year

Weird, that's where the first year was. I don't remember there being a whole lot of fun around that area but the fest layout worked.

The first installment of the festival was held over two days in mid-May; it took place in Historic Fourth Ward Park and Masquerade Music Park, drawing acts such as The Lumineers, Jim James, and Band of Horses. The festival sold out and drew around 9,000 attendees per day.[4]
In following years the festival has moved to different locations as it has continued to grow, but has remained within Atlanta. Sweetwood has stated that a goal of the festival is to remain within the city in a place that is accessible to both attendees that travel from afar and those who live locally.[4] In its second year the festival moved to Atlantic Station, a neighborhood that was designed and redeveloped in 2005, and expanded to three days.[4] 2015 saw the festival move to Central Park, expanding its capacity to around 40,000.[4] In 2016 the festival moved to Centennial Olympic Park, where it remained in 2017.[3] In 2018 it returned to Central Park.

Does Bonnaroo even get it's own thread here or nah?
With this thing coming out in a few hours you'd think we would get something more concrete soon. I will go with Eminem/Killers/ArcticMonkeys with some Sza amd Kygo to round it out.

Depends entirely on the lineup. If more than three people who are on here these days decide to go, I'll be surprised.
