Hello everyone! I'm new to inforoo but I got bored at work and started reading up on this ongoing threat. ill be attending this aint no picnic and every day I think about how they will do set times cause the conflicts are going to be insane. feel free to check out my predictions on reddit and let me know if you find it accurate, what artists/bands do you wanna see, conflicts you fear are inevitable.... this thread was a great find
We'll see soon enough how that pans out! Fortunately the fest grounds are pretty small, so splitting sets should be easy peasy.
Dont think youre considering where theyre going to expand the grounds. If you think theyre just using the area thats been used for JLH and Cruel World, think again. And if they did, its a huge mistake.

yeah, we're at least getting the entire other side of the brook that was used for parking for JLH and Cruel World which adds a ton of space. which makes you wonder how parking will be for TANP since it'll just be the paved parking lots and shuttle options.
go back to the first couple pages and you can see some maps including the original proposal for Arroyo Seco.

On the website it says 11 pm for Sat and 10 pm for Sun
That's what it said for cruel world and just like heaven initially as well. But they got approval for those events to go until 10:50 on Sunday and it was easier for them to keep both nights at cruel world the same so that the set times were the same each day. JLH was also over at 10:50 even though it was just Saturday.
I'm excited to go to a festival in Los Angeles again.
Although now that I view a potential clashfinder, I'm sort of whelmed by the lineup. Primavera to me has more interesting names, but neither rise to the level of FYF in its final few years.

Anyone been reading up on Julian's recent festival meltdowns? (Plus a random beef with Foals) I was kind of indifferent to seeing The Strokes in 2022, so if anything, this makes me more excited.

And yesterday they had Palomino at the Golf Course which had a really small set up. It was half of the space used for JLH. They ran out of beer wt 7pm though, so maybe dont always underestimate alcohol sales with a smaller crowd.

I've always really liked the Strokes, even if I wouldn't fully say "love" them, but I am utterly confused by Strokes fandom. I've seen them three times - one great, one terrible, one a mix of both, and have kind of had it with paying to see them live after getting all three potential forms of the Strokes.
The third show I reference was the recent Forum show. They came out at about 10:10ish (probably about 50 minutes after people were expecting them) and played until maybe 11:20ish. Some songs sounded fantastic, and some songs they clearly didn't care about. It seemed like Julian was exerting effort on the new stuff, but the old stuff ranged from indifference to "actively wanted the time to pass." Maybe that was cool in like 2002, but two decades later its hard to get too excited for that anymore. I walked out pretty disappointed and the crowd was JUBILANT. Like TRIUMPHANT set type stuff. Any other act that charged $100 arena tix, showed up late, and half assed a 70 minute set would have been reviled, but people were acting like it was Nirvana at Reading '93 walking out of the tunnels. Just bizarre to me now, even tough it seemed cool back then.

Huge Strokes fan and I feel the same way. Saw them six times between 2010 and 2016, mostly fests and all great shows, but just don't feel like paying a good amount of money to travel for a potentially short set that Julian may or may not be into.
And, probably an unpopular opinion, but The New Abnormal is just okay and I'm tired of Is This It taking up half the set list most of the time.

This is incredibly unverified and very hearsay but someone on Reddit said this thing only has sold 20% of tickets, which would be oof and I'd almost worry about it getting cancelled https://www.reddit.com/r/thisaintnopicnic/comments/vtbwmk/could_this_fest_get_canceled/if6h4vl/

yeah bc this price tag is ridiculous. it is a great lineup, but for just two days and the consideration of how expensive other pieces of the equation are (travel, lodging in LA, food in LA, etc.)...
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.

I think the bigger problem is that the LA/SoCal fest market is WAY oversaturated. For fests in at least a somewhat similar target audience, you have Coachella, Just Like Heaven, Cruel World, Primavera LA, and Desert Daze all this year. That's way too much, no way there wasn't going to be some casualties. I know I cut JLH because of this fest after going to that one in 2019 and having a fun time
4 of those 6 fests are Goldenvoice competing with themselves too

I was surprised to see so many people call The New Abnormal a "comeback" album. Half the tracks are blatant ripoffs of 80's hits ("Bad Decisions" is "Dancing With Myself", "Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus" is just "Beautiful Life", one of the other tracks that I forget the name of is just "The Ghost in You", etc.).
For the record, I haven't seen The Strokes since 2011. Saw them twice that year, Coachella set was pretty decent but the other one kinda sucked.
And I'm very doubtful of that 20% figure. Would've been canceled at this point, like FYF 2018 was. Won't sell out at this rate, but even though we're having fun trash talking The Strokes and their fanbase, they may be the ones saving us here.

Had to go back and listen to that Ace of Base song again, bit of a stretch to say its a blatant rip off imo, but yeah the other two literally credit Billy Idol and the Psychedelic Furs. I do like Brooklyn Bridge quite a bit though, along with At The Door and Ode to the Mets. The Adults Are Talking being their most popular single in a while probably helped the album's reputation.
FWIW when I saw them in 2011 (Bonnaroo) it was the worst time out of the six I've seen. Still a fun and memorable show for myself but a pretty lazy performance.

I've somehow never seen The Strokes, partially because they haven't played a show here since 2006 (they had a planned one for 2020 but alas), so they are pretty high on my bucket list. I'm definitely worried about finally getting a show and it's one of the bad/sloppy/indifferent ones but I feel like I need to cross them off my list so that was a big draw for this festival.
I unironically love The New Abnormal, I don't really care that it wears a lot of 80's influence on it's sleeve, its the most easily listenable album they've made since Is This It. That definitely reignited an interest to see them too for me.
I don't see myself being the guy to be praising the performance though if we do get one of the really lazy performances

The band are still tight and the thrill of hearing Hard to Explain and Reptilia live is worth it, regardless of the rest of the set
