This year's music festival headliners are underwhelming — great, but familiar artists who have been on umpteen bills over the past few years. Here, the team at Consequence discuss the homogenization of lineups and why that might be the case, from the expense of booking megastars to the influence of Vegas residencies. "Touring sucks, concerts bring money, so what if you could do concerts without travel?" says features editor Wren Graves. "As someone who is passionate about sleeping and bathing, I get it," replies associate editor Abby Jones. Tell us in the comments your opinion of music festivals, and which concerts you are excited about this year.

About 1y ago I decided to leave Xitter and focus my social media on the #fediverse.
Never ever would I have dreamed to meet so many nice people over here.
I think it is time for a 2nd #introduction:
Hi, I'm Ilu, a weird human being tooting mostly in English, but when it gets to German politics, day to day news or retweeting stuff you will notice German toots as well.
I collect old computers and I toot about my collection from time to time as well as nerd stuff related to that hobby...
My wife @flyingsilk and I are of the #Goth variety and when there isn't a deadly pandemic raging on the world we love to visit #concerts and #festivals
…where fanzines pop up like exotic fungi & gigs in church & village halls spin DIY dreams in teenagers.. the late 70s through to the early 90s #rave culture was thick with experimentation & cross-genre fertilisation & many of us are still at it, forming new links with new musicians, putting on #festivals in places no one expects, releasing music on ‘redundant’ physical media, pushing back against creeping corporatism & these energy-sapping #algorithms - raging against the dying of the light!

Virginia Department Of Health Is Now Investigating Blue Ridge Rock Festival
There's been reports of gastrointestinal issues.
When I first moved back to Kuching, I was frustrated by the tourism board’s (and pretty much everyone else’s) insistence to portray this place as all about jungles and loincloths. It’s not. Until I met the organisers of the What About Kuching festival. Proud to say I’ve been part of the organising committee and management of this month-long, community driven Kuching festival since 2017.
