You may or may not already know this, but I daydream about these kinds of things all the time. Traveling to a festival someplace I’ve never been, meeting people and seeing music I’d probably never be able to see otherwise, at least not in that kind of setting or situation. Seems strange to think this as I’m about to travel to Europe for another festival, but between Savanah and Wedge and Swan Valley Heights, bands like Cone and Les Lekin and The Strange Seeds, there’s stuff here that I’m not likely to run into anywhere else and even though I can’t go, that’s one of my favorite things to write and think about. Someone will have good hangs and check out cool tunes. Even when it’s not me, the world doesn’t get much better than that.

June 18 is the pre-show, and none other than The Atomic Bitchwax will headline that, which if you’re looking to have your ass handed to you with rock and roll, that’s who you call. I don’t know how open the pre-show is, but with just 400 tickets available for the fest proper, this strikes me as the kings of weekend that everybody is going to come out of with a few new friends.

Greenleaf, “Tides” live at Desertfest London 2022

Austria-based festival Lake on Fire 2017 — which, yes, takes place on a lake and which, yes, looks totally frickin’ awesome as a result — sold out in a matter of minutes earlier this week after putting tickets on sale. The lineup is splendid with Brant Bjork headlining a bill that also includes Asteroid, Elder, Ufomammut, Acid King, Sasquatch, Rotor, and others, but you want to know something even more impressive about it? The full lineup hasn’t even been announced yet. What you see below, with Tides from Nebula, Weedpecker, King Buffalo, Triptonus and all that? Yeah, they’re not even done yet.

Next time you’re searching for an example of how unbelievably righteous the festival scene is in Europe, go ahead and consider Lake on Fire 2017, which offers camping and hotel options, a unique setting, killer bands, and a clientele that trusts it enough to completely buy up all the tickets before the full lineup has been unveiled. My minescule American brain boggles at the thought. Not that I’ve been Mr. Goestoshows lately or anything, but if you’re also from the States, consider the cultural richness at work in making something like this come together in the way it has. It’s astounding. I can’t even get bands to return my emails about playing an All-Dayer a year from now.

Go figure.

From the festival:

This is unreal – SOLD OUT again – for the 4th time in a row! Even compared to last year this was kinda fast! Thank you so much for your support! We love you!

For all those who haven’t got their tickets, don’t be sad, there will be another chance in approx. 2 weeks. All pre-registered users in our webshop (newly registered users won’t be considered anymore) will have the chance to be part of our LUCKY BIRD TICKET lottery.
