Pulp Phoenix Mother Mother Yard Act Soccer Mommy Busty and the Bass Hannah Storm
Simply put, the best 2.5 days of music of my life. Came with Ava and we caught some shows together and some separate. So many great things about the event: 1) The crowd - really polite and gave lots of room to move, even at crowded shows. But not dead - very energetic and engaged. Plus folks are somewhat shorter on average so easier to see the stage! 2) The venue - stages are as close together as they can possibly be, allowing you to get quickly from act to act. Literally on the first two days there was no dead time - could just go from act to act. 3) amenities - lots of bathrooms & water refill - also food & drink passed through crowd so you could buy some while waiting. 4) The commerce - all cashless wristband which made it easy. then outside there was like a quarter-mile of bootleg vendors selling really cheap swag - I got six t-shirts and a sweatshirt, and Ava got a bag, a hat, two sweathsirts, and a bunch of t shirts! 5) The bands - not only was the lineup amazing, but bands seemed really happy to be there - everyone kept talking about how it was their first time playing in Mexico! Couple downsides: 1) 98% locals and weren't really fun to engage with - polite but not chatty (in english at least) 2) Ava and I both were feeling pretty sick!
Reviews for Day 1:
• busty - good vibe and way to warmup - 3.5/5 • Soccer mommy - great rocking instrumentals but vocals are purposely too laid back • Yard act - outstanding performance. Great crowd energy. Not really sing along but fun - 4/5 • Mother mother - amazing show. Perfect fit for festival - they played all the songs I like and none i don’t. Great performance and stage presence Probably worth seeing just for good songs - 4.5/5 • Fitz - took a bit to get into it but once they played out of my league it was great. Just a fun pop show - 4/5 • 2DCC- outstanding. Most fun with Ava at the festival. Great sing along and great video - 5/5 • Phoenix - not really fair since just came in and out but they really weren’t very good - 2/5 • Hives - possibly best non-killers festival show of my life. So much energy and such great collective exuberance. Everyone jumoing and shouting together Even talked to the crowd fluently in Spanish! Amazing - 5/5 • Pulp - terrible! Their pop hits were fun but the rest was just self indulgent slow stuff. 2/5
