Some solid names in the announce... not a whole lot of surprises, but Tindersticks have been on my "Must See List" for over 25 years now (and were part of my wishlist posted earlier in this thread!)

Annette Peacock is definitely the "WHOA" of the list here... Her participation is just starting to sink in. I am sure Kronos Quartet will be pairing with Terry Riley, but I do hope they get a set where they can just perform some of their other work.

That Mum/Kronos video at the bottom of the story is incredible. Can't wait for that. There are plenty of things I'm looking forward to. It's hard to imagine how many bands Tinersticks influenced.

So... how many did we get right?
- Art Ensemble of Chicago + Bang on a Can + Caroline Shaw - Cate Le Bon + Caterina Barbieri + Daniel Pioro + Efterklang + Hildur Gudnadóttir (assuming she's performig w/ Múm) - Holly Herndon + Joe Henry + Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society + Maurice Louca + Mdou Moctar + Nathalie Joachim & Spektral Quartet + Sarah Davachi + Sons of Chipotle + The Necks + William Tyler
Time to make some lists. After a first not-so-detailed glance, here are the names I'm interested to see:
Must sees:
Annette Peacock Caterina Barbieri Maurice Louca Efterklang Nadah El Shazly Electric Appalachia Múm Peter Brötzmann Sarah Davachi Sound for Andy Warhol's KISS Terry Riley The Necks
Likely to see:
Tindersticks Caroline Shaw & Sō Percussion Joshua Abrams & NIS 75 Dollar Bill Marc Ribot Saul Williams Shabaka & The Ancestors
Very cool to see if schedule works out:
Anthony Braxton Damo Suzuki Devendra Banhart Kronos Quartet Mdou Moctar Paul Lazar's Cage Shuffle Sons of Chipotle Sudan Archives Thundercat Xylouris White
Needs some research:
Aurora Nealand & The Royal Roses Daniel Pioro & Valgeir Siguròssen Dos Santos Kim Myhr: You | Me Steve Coleman & Five Elements Tamino The Haden Triplets
Please let me know if you have any other suggestions!
- Art Ensemble of Chicago + Bang on a Can + Caroline Shaw - Cate Le Bon + Caterina Barbieri + Daniel Pioro + Efterklang - Hildur Gudnadóttir - Holly Herndon + Joe Henry + Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society + Maurice Louca + Mdou Moctar + Nathalie Joachim & Spektral Quartet + Sarah Davachi + Sons of Chipotle + The Necks - William Tyler
Score: 72.2% = Grade C
WT is there. He's playing with Mary Lattimore in a duo called Electric Appalachia.

I'm not sure why, but I'm feeling less "Jazzy" these days. So, while this is my first pass, the Jazz will probably rise to the top a bit later:
Must See Annette Peacock Caterina Barbieri Efterklang Múm Sarah Davachi Sound for Andy Warhol’s KISS (Kim Gordon, Bill Nace, Steve Gunn, John Truscinski) The Necks Thundercat Tindersticks
Main Picks 75 Dollar Bill Aurora Nealand & the Royal Roses Caroline Shaw Damo Suzuki Network with the Sound Carriers Daniel Pioro & Valgeir Sigurðsson Dos Santos Electric Appalachia (William Tyler, Mary Lattimore, Eric Dawson of TAMIS) Gyan Riley Harriet Tubman Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society Kronos Quartet Mdou Moctar Meredith Monk Moonlight Benjamin mssv (Mike Baggetta, Stephen Hodges, Mike Watt) Nadah El Shazly Natalie Joachim Shabaka & the Ancestors So Percussion Sons of Chipotle (John Paul Jones & Anssi Karttunen) Tamino
Secondary Picks Andrew Cyrille Anthony Braxton Areni Agbabian Christian Scott Dan Weiss Starebaby Devandra Banhart Jaimie Branch’s Fly or Die Jason Moran & the Harlem Hellfighters Jeff Parker and the New Breed Kim Myhr Marc Ribot Myra Melford’s Snowy Egret MZM (Miya Masaoka, Zeena Parkins, Myra Melford) nief norf Peter Brötzmann Steve Coleman and Five Elements Terry Riley Xylouris White
Looks like Diamond Curtain Wall Trio and Thunder Music Ensemble were removed (temporarily?) after you went to press!
I read a few press releases that had them both on there and then missing from the lineup page. Both of those are associated with the Braxton75 shindig, apparently.
Also noticed Brötzmann is getting two sets. One solo and a duo with Andrew Cryille.

Another thought/question - was the presale truly "offering tickets at last year’s price" as advertised? I missed out on the first/lowest-price tier of $650 + fees, but looking back, I'm pretty sure I paid $633 last year (total, including fees). Did they honor that claim with the other ticket types? Ultimately, not a big deal, but simultaneously, y'know: wtf. This year cost me a little over $100 more than last year (Tier-2 Prices).

If I remember it correctly, I paid the same amount as last year ($225 + fees), so maybe it's only for GA.
They also had a 10% off friends of the festival sale, maybe that's why you paid less than this year's Tier 1 price?
