Playlist: My 2023 Fantasy Music Pageant

Music pageant season is formally upon us. Okeechobee wrapped final weekend, Extremely is 2 weeks away, and Sunfest introduced the artists for its Might shindig a few weeks in the past. Tortuga is however a month away on Fort Lauderdale Seashore.

None of them really feel geared to my style, nonetheless, so I made a decision to create my very own fantasy pageant—as music geeks are wont to do—on this nifty web site referred to as Pageant Poster Generator, and that is what I got here up with up:

I did give myself some restrictions: I didn’t choose bands which are damaged up or retired from touring, or artists who’re, you already know … lifeless. However in any other case, something goes, which is why modern jazz artists oddly share a stage with folk-rock icons and indie rockers previous and current.

After all, in practicality, a pageant like this wouldn’t work: Bands I really like would continuously be taking part in towards one another, leading to paralyzing FOMO and negating the intention altogether. However in my fantasy, I’m additionally cloning myself to be in any respect levels without delay.

The next playlist contains a monitor a chunk from each artist at my imaginary pageant. So if any precise pageant promoters are studying this … I’m out there for session. Let’s make no less than part of this occur, lets?
