The promoters of Wilco’s Solid Sound Music and Arts Festival have come up with either an interesting or annoying way of announcing the event’s lineup, depending on how you look at it. Today at noon ET they started rolling out the lineup and activities in alphabetical order with each new letter announced every 30 minutes. The lineup unveil will run through 5:30PM ET this afternoon and then concludes tomorrow between 10AM and 4:30PM.
In addition to Solid Sound headliners Wilco, the acts announced so far include Sam Amidon, Border Music featuring Marc Ribot and David Hidalgo (Los Lobos), The Blisters, Neko Case and Steve Wynn’s Dream Syndicate. Keep your eyes on HT or the event’s Facebook page for future updates.
