Summer festival season is almost here, but before you go dropping your hard-earned dollars on the Coachellas and Lollapaloozas of the world, consider a little something happening in the Northeast mid-August. Wilco, who apparently don’t sleep or take breaks ever, have announced the SOLID SOUND FESTIVAL, a three-day music, art, and interactive event the band will curate themselves. Bookmark August 13 – 15 and get ready to head to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, rain or shine.
According to the festival site, Wilco will headline, and attendees can also catch performances from the Nels Cline Singers, Glenn Kotche’s On Fillmore project, John Stirratt and Pat Sansone’s the Autumn Defense, and Mikael Jorgensen’s Pronto.
Additionally:
“SOLID SOUND FESTIVAL at MASS MoCA also plays host to additional musical performances, a fully programmed comedy stage, interactive installations and exhibits (including the Solid Sound Stompbox Station, an interactive guitar pedal exhibit created and demonstrated by Wilco guitarist Nels Cline, a concert-poster screening demonstration, planned workshops by luthiers, and more), plus film, video installations, and DJs.”
Tickets go on sale this Friday.
