Nelsonville Music Festival 2024 - July 26-28

[Jesioneka]

Didn't see a thread for Nelsonville yet this year, so figured I'd start one up now that the lineup is out for anyone interested. I know we have a number of regulars who attend.

We were leaving the stages one day last year, and a couple in front of us was walking back to their campsites talking about how Nelsonville had become their Bonnaroo retirement home. That sums up my feelings to a degree -- a festival we'll be going to for years to come, regardless of lineups, just trusting the organizers -- and a festival that's light-years easier to attend for us since we're nearby and can bring the kids. Looking forward to seeing some of these acts again and seeing some new ones for the first time.

I've always wanted to do this one and Amyl & The Sniffers 2 hours away from me is hard to miss. Good chance I'll be there.

Killer Mike is an interesting headliner, but solid lineup again.

Feels like a step down from last year but I'd go if I was local. Hope it's a nice time for those who do!

The headliners don't do anything for me, but as usual the undercard is where it's at. Nothing on the level of Altin Gun, Wednesday, or MJ Lenderman at first glance but it's got a few bucket list acts like Bonnie Prince Billy and Bob Mould plus a ton of psych rock and weirdo punk (check out Snõõper and PAL).

Also that improv super group Beings (Steve Gunn, Jim White, Shahzad Ismaily, and Zoh Amba) is a sick get. Despite being such a small festival they've really carved out a nice niche in the center of the Venn diagram of Pitchfork, Newport Folk Fest, and Big Ears

Haven't been in a few years but would like to pick it back up. Would consider going for a single day if the acts line up in my favor. Put Bob Mould and Courtney Barnett on the same day and I'm there.

Not a surprise, Nelsonville delivers again. Never would have guessed they would ever have a rap headliner, but I love it. Unique and diverse as always. I agree, the top and the top middleish of the lineup isn't as strong as in years past, but there is a lot of depth and a bunch of artists I want to see already and a bunch I want to get to know more. This is pound for pound the best festival in the country!!!!

Saw Yasmin Williams a few days ago and she is so humbling to watch. Absolute powerhouse of a performer and one of the sweetest stage presence ever.

Stoked you guys got Florry, Sluice and Suss, too. Don’t skip those, please.

Oh wow, I missed the lineup drop. I agree that it isn't the greatest lineup, but I happen to be a big Killer Mike fan, and I like it!
Haven't made it since 2019 but I'm going to try this year. It pretty much just depends on whether I can take off from work, and Bonnaroo is taking priority right now. I don't even care if nobody else wants to go with me, Nelsonville is close enough, brief enough, and well enough run that I'll go by myself if I have to.

If anyone in the Cleveland/Akron area has any experience running a bread route or other DSD-type route and wants to make some money during either fest, hit me up and you'll be well paid in cash.

On second look, that's a FUN lineup! I don't know some of those acts at all, but after just playing a few of the songs linked form the lineup page, there's 15+ that I'm sure I'd enjoy, which is darned good. Snooper, Pal, Amyl and the Sniffers, The Sensational Barnes Brothers, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, and Spoon Bender all look good, in addition to Mike, Courtney, Bob Mould, and Seun Kuti.

Come on, Summer!
