Katelynn:

Headliner: Radiohead

Midsize Acts: Caroline Polachek, Jawbreaker

Smaller Acts: Big Boy, Citizen

My lineup is majority influenced by artists that I want to see live and haven’t had the opportunity to see yet. Radiohead, Caroline Polachek, and Jawbreaker are all acts that I enjoy listening to and would love to witness live. Big Boy and Citizen are both bands that I have seen and have the ability to get a crowd moving, which is always an exciting experience at a festival!

Juliette 

Headliner: Charli XCX 

Mid size: Caroline Polacheck

Mid size: Amyl and the Sniffers

Small size: Addison Rae

Small size: Alice Phoebe Lou

My lineup is my dream of the best night ever! Alice Phoebe Lou starts off the night with powerful lyricism and her alternative folk sound. Addison Rae adds energy and fun with her camp pop sound. Amyl and the Sniffer would get the crowd and mosh pits going with their striking punk attitude and their electric stage performance. Heading later in the night Caroline Polacheck would transport the crowd with her ethereal melodies, vocals, and visuals. Charli XCX would finish off the night with her headliner title that Coachella snubbed her on. Charli XCX would end the night with her iconic stage presence, showcase her legendary discography, and dance with her recent collaborators Lorde, Troye Sivan, Yung Lean, and Robyn.  

Jack

Headliner: Tame Impala

Mide Size: Foals, Vacations

Small: Grizzly Bear, Beach Fossils

My lineup is influenced by the 2010’s alternative rock scene. These are some incredibly fun performers that bring a ton of energy and excitement to the stage. I think this group of bands would create a great festival!

Casey:

Headliner: The 1975

Mid size: The Backseat Lovers, Del Water Gap

Small: Carol Ades, Mk.gee

The artists I picked are all artists that I have seen live that have been my favorite performances to see. All of these artists had shows that blew me away. When it comes to a festival, I think the live performance aspect is what holds the most value. Those with great stage presence and amazing live sound are the most memorable. Each of these artists understands the power of captivation. They know how to work an audience and create an experience for each listener. Festivals, to me, are all about the moments where you are lost in what is going on in front of you, and these artists know how to foster those moments.
