I really attempted to give Hoziers recent record a try and be open to it. Review: Hated it
It's funny you say that, I listened to his first album again yesterday for the first time since he played Newport the last time and liked it more than I remember. Then I listened to the second one, which was a bit of a drop off from the first. Then the most recent one, an even further drop haha.
I like some of his stuff for sure and he seems like a swell guy, but, for a lack of better phrase, his "failing upwards" recently has taken me by surprise.
If Adrianne closes the Quad, I will for sure see that whole set and happily catch the remainder of Hozier

The thing is, you only need a single to be popular. And “Too Sweet” is one of the catchiest pop-americana songs I’ve heard in a while.
As for falling upward, I feel the same about Brittany Howard, but it seems most of you like her albums.
Speaking of crossovers, Boston Calling is this weekend. Looks like NFF is really saving that Hozier announcement (and others?) for the end.
It's interesting that the Hozier NFF announcement dropped on the same day that Boston Calling announced that one-day GA passes for Sunday (Hozier's day) had sold out. Maybe that was a contractual thing.
Given how quickly NFF sells out every year, it really doesn't matter when they drop names.

Particular artists click for us as individuals for the same reason that we fall in love with specific people or really enjoy particular foods. They just appeal to us. You can analyze the reasons why something resonates with you this strongly, but the fact that we feel that connection is the only thing that matters.
The first time I heard "Take Me To Church" in the spring of 2014, I got goosebumps, just like I did the first time I heard "Alison" in the spring of 1977 (and the first time I heard "Rewind" early this year).
Hozier's music connects for a lot of people this way. This is the last year you'll see him on the second line of any festival, unless the headliners are Paul McCartney/Taylor Swift/Beyonce big.

Yeah, that is very true about only needing one single.
Gotta disagree on Brittany Howard. I know taste is subjective, but both of her solo albums currently have a Metacritic score of 88. I don't think you can call "Universal acclaim" failing.

From LiveNation’s perspective, there may be 50 people from the Boston area with an interest in seeing Hozier who might not buy tickets to their other show if he’s already playing a fest they have tickets to.
I'm pretty sure Hozier is huge on Tiktok. I'm still barely sure what that means, but I don't think he's selling out arenas without that. I've enjoyed him every time I've seen him at Newport, but definitely not something particularly exciting.
Hopefully I've got tickets for a latenight and a good excuse to bail early after whatever is on the Quad because he is definitely headlining

Yeah at this point, headlining would be great. That way I can bounce.

Brittany is significantly less successful than Alabama Shakes was

I know this isn’t going to happen, but I can’t help but think about how I would’ve bailed on both Brandi and Nathaniel Rateliff because I don’t care for them, but then I would’ve missed Paul Simon and Dolly. I’ll stick around for the slim chance that there is a guest that isn’t Noah Kahan.

50? Maybe more like 500, given how many people from the Boston area go to NFF.

Que Larry to come smack me down
Prolly just miss a couple puppets. Cuz they’re gonna beat the hell outta that thing.
Muppets are 70 next year. Maybe it’ll end there with a big hoopla.

I was thinking this too. At the end the Shakes were headlining large amphitheaters and theaters. Her coheadline tour this summer with Michael Kiwanuka is playing playing mostly smaller places or 1 night at both the Berkley and LA Greeks vs 2 when the Shakes last played there.
Conan with Dawes, jimmy giving and special guests.
That’s one more member of the new basement tapes on the fort…
What would be the point of booking New Basement Tapes and not announcing them? I think this is just going to be another year where we have a few members, maybe a song together at most, but no much else. (Unless they end up as an aftershow.)
