Sonic Stage Wishlist 2014

[James Baxter]

I love it when artists play second or third, more intimate sets on the Sonic Stage,in the Ford Lounge, or any other smaller venues. Mac DeMarco was great last year, Rubblebucket slayed the Solar Stage, and Sister Sparrow's two small sets were favorites of 2012 for me. Now, with one of my most highly anticipated sets finding some competition, I started thinking about how that conflict could be resolved, and I realized that I don't think there's a thread for stuff like this yet. So...

My Wishlist:

King Khan and his Shrines


please.

[Dave Maynar]

Mikal Cronin. That is all.

[linana]

The Head & The Heart -
So I don't have to miss The Naked & Famous.

Also Wild Feathers since I'm not arriving until Thursday evening.

[Tyler & Hannah]

Cherub!!! Im so pumped to see them at roo this year!

[leddy]

I loved the Sonic Stage and so some awesome shows their last year such as ALO, Trombone Shorty, the Futurebirds, and the Revivalist. I am hoping it will be able to relieve some of my conflicts this year. My first choice would be The Bouncing Souls, but would also like to see Allah-La's, Caveman, J Roddy and the Business and AM & Shawn Lee.

Does he tour with Ty Segall's band? As in, should I expect to see him play with Ty Segall on Thursday.

I thought he was doing his own thing now. But if there's even a remote chance he'll be on the farm then I just got way more excited.

He is still touring with Segall.

I had the same concern, but he was playing bass still at Coachella, so I wouldn't see why he wouldn't be at Roo too. Emily plays drums for both him and Ty Segall, so that's like half the band already there at least.

[MacRoober]

Trying to keep my wishes realistic, I'd say the following:
Allah-Las
Cayucas
City and Colour
Diarrhea Planet
First Aid Kit
King Kahn
Syd Arthur

*don't know if club acts get second lineup spots or not.

[Pale Hose]

Orwells.

[Tyler & Hannah]

I totally forgot about Banks on the lineup.


This remix of Banks warm water is one of my favs

The dream remains alive.

I hope AM and Shawn Lee play more than one cafe show, I'd hate to possibly miss their set trying to get a good spot for White Denim!

[papa steve]

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds or Grinderman

They're one of the Silent Disco acts in case you missed that announcement.

Oh I did, sounds fun!

[livesbydryshampoo]

First Aid Kit, Broken Bells, City & Colour, St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Valerie June, Sarah Jarosz.

Edward Sharpe last year and Kathleen Edwards the year before were two of my respective highlights. Woo!

[linana]

When do we usually see the Sonic/Solar stage schedules?

[jdrum3]

This was pretty much my favorite stage last year! I saw Trombone Shorty, aoife o'donovan, and another band, it was just intimate and awesome! Lake Street Dive would be a good candidate this year.

[RooNoob]

Real Estate and Warpaint would be great, especially since I'm missing both due to conflicts.

[James Baxter]

My schedule is already pretty full as it is, but I'll just start my own stage. With Thundercat! And Speedy Ortiz! And The Orwells!

You know what, forget the Speedy and The Orwells

I was just coming here to say that I think Thundercat will end up playing a set on the Red Bull stage.

[warpedfan11]

City and Colour!

[bobbob1313]

Valerie June, for sure. Dr. Dog. Patterson Hood solo (did this last time Truckers were there). Andrew Bird. ZZ Ward.

[JHOinTN]

Wishful thinking, but Jake Bugg would be fantastic on the sonic stage.

[Fozzie Bear]

Is the sonic stage coming back?

[Outlier]

Royal Teeth, The Orwells, The Bouncing Souls

[Fozzie Bear]
