Your Complete EDM Guide To Bonnaroo 2021

Your Complete EDM Guide To Bonnaroo 2021

It is no secret that EDM was hit the hardest when Bonnaroo announced the 2021 official lineup. While about 60 percent of the original 2020 lineup stayed intact, some notable acts were removed without replacement, especially in the electronic realm. We lost Ganja White Night, Flume, Bassnectar (for numerous reasons), Rezz, Bonnie X Clyde, and tones and I. However, aside from not one headlining…

We’re going to give you our top 15 picks for can’t miss shows at Bonnaroo (which is really hard with a lineup like that), in no particular order. And yeah, you should see Arcade Fire and Lil Wayne, but these are some others. Deer Tick / Saturday, June 11th @ 3:15 That Tent My love for Deer Tick front man John McCauley knows no bounds. In my opinion, he is one of our generations greatest writers with such a knack for performance and drunkenly drugged out likability that he puts most other front men to shame. I also share a special bond with him that only other people that share this bond can understand: we were both born on Flag Day...June 14th..yes, that's a real holiday. Sir McCauley even named an album Born on Flag Day after me us and their debut release, War Elephant, also referenced my favorite animal. Is this band all about me? Yes. YES! In all seriousness, I've been listening to a lot of War Elephant as of late and though it's a few years old, it's a reminder of the band's evolving and infinite talent. The song above, "Baltimore Blues No. 1" is a personal favorite and a fabulous example of what they have to offer. The rawness of McCauley's voice paired with the honesty of his lyrics is a striking rarity only shared among the greats. Bonnaroo will be my first live Deer Tick show, and this band makes the top 10 list of bands I wanted to see in 2011, so to say I am unbelievably excited is a pathetic understatement. See you there! | N

*Video from Guilty People* We’re going to give you our top 15 picks for can’t miss shows at Bonnaroo (which is really hard with a lineup like that), in no particular order. And yeah, you should see Arcade Fire and Lil Wayne, but these are some others. Twin Shadow / Thursday, June 9th @ 10:00 PM on This Tent I've known of Twin Shadow for a while now. I put up at least one of his videos here on the site, and have always appreciated his music. BUT, if I had chosen my Bonnaroo list prior to this past weekend, he may not have been on it. Nothing against him, it's just that with so many great acts he likely would not have made our precious top 15 (I'm sure George Lewis is reading this somewhere and sobbing #NotLikely). So what changed my mind? SASQUATCH. I'm sure you've been waiting for me to drop that S bomb here since our twitter is a freaking love affair to the festival. So to save your gag reflexes from flaring up, I'll focus more on his show than on the beautiful and harmonious heaven cloud that is Sasquaaaaaaatch. Twin Shadow's show was one of the weekend's highlights. His sound, swagger and showmanship make any concert of his one not to miss. And while I'm kind of embarassed to admit it, I may or may not have stalked him a bit in the artist tent. What was I supposed to do, NOT compulsively stare at him?? (At least I didn't point...N always says I have a pointing problem). I see Bonnaroo as just another opportunity to hear some great music and drool a little bit (or a lot, depending on how the weekend goes). If you're like me (cool, calm and casual), you'll love this show - just bring a bib for the drool. | b

And yeah, you should see Arcade Fire and Lil Wayne, but these are some others. Tristen/ Saturday, June 11th @ 9:20 PM On Tap Lounge It's a little bit scary to place an artist in Freshman Honors without seeing them live first. Your CD may be awesome, but you could very well suck live and we've just called you the best emerging talent? YIKES. I gave Tristen Freshman Honors before I saw her live because I couldn't stop listening to her addicting twangy pop album, but when the time came to see her show a few weeks ago, I was a bit nervous I'd be disappointed. To top it all off, the night of her show I got a precious little headache that was the kind that makes you feel like a cartoon devil is standing above you pounding a hammer at your head, so my mood was, well...bad. There are a lot of shows this headache would have led me to walk out of, but I couldn't tear myself away from Tristen's set. She was so awesome and her voice live is seriously mind blowing. Plus her music really lights up in a live setting, she left not one person standing still. I'm personally VERY pumped to see her again, my only wish is that you join me. | N
