Per Stereogum, The National are "throwing a festival in their Cincinnati hometown. Homecoming, in association with MusicNOW, will see a lineup of over 20 artists curated by the band playing on two stages at Smale Park and other venues throughout the city, and the National themselves will be playing two separate shows. It’ll all go down 4/28 and 4/29, but a series of special guests, citywide exhibitions, and more will also begin on the evening of 12/27."
Early bird tickets are ~$100, which is an insane deal considering National headline shows usually run around $40-$50, plus there's 20 other artists that are likely going to be pretty quality considering the National's track record of great openers.

Weird that they're doing it in Smale Park, there's not a ton of room there. Hopefully they advertise this better, MusicNow was good it just usually went under the radar.
Have to imagine there'll be decent crossover between this and Boston Calling/Eaux Claires, so I'm probably out. But I'm interested to see what they put out
I'm considering this, but couldn't do this, High Water and Shaky. I need to see this lineup. I considered getting an earlybird, but financially, I really can't do that for fest I am not even sure about.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Bryce Dressner was/is Artistic Director for MusicNow which was a collaborative mini festival showcasing different combinations of symphonic and alt/pop music. In that case, the music leaned more symphonic Avant Garde than main stream but they typically had a couple of interesting acts/artists playing with the symphony. I would think if he's creating a companion festival, that he would also take the line up more cutting edge than a typical festival. Here's a local article about the Cincinnati Symphony that talks about it and seems to think it might line up closer to the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville (run by AC Entertainment):
In the article, its confusing if he's talking about MusicNow or Homecomming (which isn't named). No matter what, having 2 night of the National would be worth it though.

I've been talking to people about going to Eaux Claire this week but they weren't quite sold on the lineups. Hopefully this is going to make for a stronger year
Just booked a hotel for this. I like what they're doing lineup wise - and it's two unique sets from The National. It's also nice we don't have much of a drive from Columbus to Cincinnati.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

This is a good price and near where I live. I would've already sprung if I hadn't already seen most of the lineup, but if the adds are of similar quality to this I'm 100% in.
Anybody know if the next wave will be announced before the price tier goes up, and/or who might be added?

The musicNOW part of the festivals schedule and tickets are coming out beginning of February. I would imagine that's when the rest of the lineup will come out. My problem is wanting to get tickets for other events not knowing the music schedule. Those are some great acts already!
