It looks like downtown Cleveland is finally getting a music festival.
Here's the description.
"Cleveland, the home of rock and roll, will host a long-awaited music festival on August 25 and 26, 2018. InCuya™, will celebrate the origins, diversity, and evolution of rock with a music and cultural festival in the heart of downtown Cleveland."
Please be good! I remember when Laurelive popped up a couple years back and I was immediately disappointed by it going all-in on corporate-backed indie pop. Hopefully since this festival is relatively close in proximity it will go in a different direction
I also wonder if this is related at all to what Ed FitzGerald (former Cuyahoga County executive and very failed 2014 candidate for Governor) had been working to bring to Cleveland.
I grew up in Cleveland (actually pretty close to where LaurelLive is held) ... pretty interesting to see what this turns out being like.
I never really thought the demographics in Cleveland were such to support a strong indie/alternative leaning festival, so my initial thought when I saw this was more hip hop / pop, but they seem to be playing the "home of rock and roll" angle, so maybe I'm wrong. After seeing how small the venues War on Drugs and Fleet Foxes are playing in Cleveland, I'm really curious to see how this sells if they book a Pitchfork-esque lineup.

I bought a single day ticket to the first Laurelive. After about 2 hours, I wondered why I was even there. I basically just went to see Ra Ra Riot & Lee Fields & The Expressions. I have a feeling they have to keep it pretty vanilla since it's held at that all girls school.
I know it will never happen, but My Bloody Valentine is playing FYF Fest (an AEG festival). A boy can dream.
MBV would be INSANE. At best I'm hoping for something along the lines of what Mo Pop booked. Hopefully we'll find out more next week. I remember seeing Cake back in 2011; they were entertaining but not something I ever had a desire to see again
This guy keeps talking about lowering expectations and if you don't like the lineup this year think what it could be in the future. Doesn't seem like he is hyping it too much. Haha
1/17 Spafford 2/7 Greensky Bluegrass 3/17 Cool Cool Cool 3/28 Ekoostik Hookah 7/10 Jason Mraz 7/11 Chris Stapleton 7/12 Red Hot Chili Peppers 7/13 Buffalo Ska Fest
New Order, The Avett Brothers, SZA, Awolnation, The Revivalists, Cake, K Flay, Earl Sweatshirt, Daniel Caesar, Yuna, Tank and The Bangas, J. Roddy Walston and The Business, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Booker T. Jones, Bahamas, They, Tropidelic, Arkells, Ezri, Kitten, The Jack Fords, The Blue Stones, Dreamers, Seafair and The Modern Electric.
$95 for early bird tickets starting Tuesday, $115 for phase 2, per the website.
I’ve been dying to see New Order. Like, top priority. But that’s about it at first blush.
Alright $95 isn't a bad deal for both days. Besides the 3 I mentioned, I've heard good things about Daniel Caesar and Tank and the Bangas. I'm probably in for this

New Order!!! What a strange lineup. It certainly doesn't look like every other festival lineup out there. The price is decent too. I'd say it's worth it just to see New Order. I'm down!

Looking at Mo Pop's lineup history, it seems like InCuya is following a similar path of mixing indie rock, pop, rnb, and hip hop. They didn't quite nail the mix this time (Mo Pop's '17 and '18 lineups did it best imo), but if they improve over the years I could see this festival filling the same niche as Mo Pop.

I like the mix of indie, pop, rnb, hip hop, etc. I'm glad it's not just a straight up rock fest. I've been wanting to see some of the local Cle bands (Seafair & The Modern Electric). I'm surprised they didn't get Cloud Nothings, but maybe they weren't available. I'm definitely excited to see New Order, SZA, Booker T & Earl. I also don't mind Cake & I'm interested in Tank & The Bangas. I saw K. Flay at Forecastle last year & she was okay. I'll have to look up some of the other artists I'm not familiar with. There are a few I just don't like (J. Roddy, Awol & Avetts).
I think this years Mo Pop is their best lineup. I'm still thinking about going, but now that I'm going to NMF, Bellwether & InCuya, I'm not sure I can squeeze in another festival. I may just go to Cobblestone (same days as Mo Pop) in Buffalo to see Broken Social Scene. Single day tickets are only $25.
Did anyone get a ticket? I can't decide if I want a weekend pass, or just a ticket for Saturday.
The lineup garnered zero interest from my fiancee and friends, so I'm holding off for now. I'll probably end up picking up a single day ticket for the New Order day if they end up running any promotions.
It'll be interesting to see how this sells, because from the reactions I've seen and heard the largely faceless pop that makes up a lot of this lineup isn't impressing many people.

I believe New Order hasn't played Cleveland in close to 30 years, so I think they will sell a decent amount of tickets for Saturday. I have a feeling a lot of older NO fans will come just to see them. They could even get fans from other states if NO isn't touring.
I ended up getting the weekend pass. The price is decent & I don't have to worry about a hotel.

easymorningrebel and myself, along with a small group secured our tickets when the sale started, and managed a downtown hotel for super cheap off of Hotwire. I'm interested to see how they set this all up.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
