With the addition of a number of bands that appeal to the Pitchfork/Stereogum crowd, we’d say the inaugural Nateva Music Festival is having an identity crisis, but isn’t variety the spice of life? Old idioms aside, what first looked to be a jamband festival has now added the likes of She & Him, Grizzly Bear, Passion Pit and The Constellations. Jam fans fear not, they’ve also added HT faves The McLovins, Drive-By Truckers and The Brew. Click here for the complete lineup for the event which takes place in Oxford, ME over the Fourth of July Weekend.
A bunch of killer Americana acts have been added to the lineup for the 12th Annual Pickathon Festival taking place at Pendarvis Farm near Portland, OR on August 6-8. Dr. Dog, Punch Brothers and Fruits Bats will each perform twice joining Bonnie Prince Billy & The Cairo Gang, Heartless Bastards, These United States and Langhorne Slim on the bill for the intimate event.

As a New England native, I couldn’t be more stoked about Nateva. The initial lineup had me sold and this addition adds some icing to the cake. Plus the fact they threw in some local acts gone regional like Adam Ezra and Indobox is a stone cold groove. If you want to talk Identity crisis in New England, Vibes is where you point your finger. How do you go from moe./ratdog to Nas and Primus. I’m not hating, but that sure is an about face
Great point, Andrew. Well said.
