I coolest thing about the festival was after a band played and you were hot and sweaty you could go down by the water and instantly cool off.
Also quadruple post lol but here’s my wishlist for next year: Scowl Green Day MCR The Ataris Never Ending Game The Menzingers Bowling for Soup Angel Du$t Good Charlotte Mindforce Relient K Beartooth Code Orange Buggin Spanish Love Songs Creeper A few of those (Ataris, BFS, GC) are only on there because I’ve never seen them and wanna check them off the list lol
I've seen blink several times over the last 20 years, with Tom & Skiba, & they've never sounded better than they did this weekend. This fest wasn't perfect, but I feel validated in my decision to do it over Riot this year. 2 days really kicked my ass, 3 might not be doable for me in the future. There was a good crowd for a lot of the hardcore bands, Incendiary was one of my fav sets of the weekend. Someone mentioned food being good, I don't eat meat, & there were plenty of fast options that were really good for me. I got some Korean tacos with tofu & it was one of the better things I've eaten at a fest
Had a great time this weekend. Highlights: Blink, Pup, Movielife, Incendiary, Drug Church, Paramore and TFB The sand was no joke so exhausted from walking through it still lol
Anyone else get the survey link this morning? What bands did you suggest for next year? I went… Good Charlotte Spanish Love Songs Drain The Menzingers Scowl Green Day Bowling for Soup Anberlin Relient K Handful of those are bucket list bands for me that I’ve just somehow never seen before or rarely/never come near me, so a fest like this would be a good opportunity.
My suggested artists: Green Day The Wonder Years The Menzingers The Story so Far Militarie Gun Sharptooth World of Pleasure Tigers Jaw Spanish Love Songs Can't Swim
The Wonder Years The Maine Green Day Underoath Militarie Gun Code Orange Jawbreaker Descendents Sum 41 The Menzingers
I didn't get the survey but I would have picked: Green Day The Bouncing Souls Direct Hit! Less Than Jake The Menzingers Eve 6 Catbite MxPx We Are The Union Ill Communication
For you or anyone else, give it a shot I'm not sure if the link will work or not Adjacent Music Festival 2023 Post Festival Survey
It would be awesome to see the Souls do it, was thinking that the whole time I was there but I don't think they'd sacrifice stoked for the summer for it. Would love to be wrong though!
Works for me! Haha. Thanks! Great point about Stoked... I could see them doing it and maybe just announcing Stoked a little later than usual or something. There would definitely be a way to make it work (e.g., a unique radius clause or something).
I picked Drain Killswitch AFI Goldfinger Knocked Loose (again) Silverstein Sugarcult Bring Me The Horizon Haste The Day Foreign Hands
AFI Piebald Hot Rod Circuit Something Corporate The Format New Found Glory Streetlight Manifesto Save Ferris Rancid The Aquabats
I’ve heard something but nothing in terms of bands. I’m just glad we can have something stable in the tri-state area finally! And yes I do imagine they will look for weekends other than MDW.
