ARROYO SECO ANNOUNCES 2018 LINEUP!!

ARROYO SECO WEEKEND 2018 PREVIEW

by Dan Sinclair

 

 

As some as you may remember, Mr. Nicolas Bates and I covered in the inaugural
Arroyo Seco Weekend last year during two very, very hot June days in Pasadena.

If you do not remember (or just want to relive the whole thing all over again),
you should go here and check out our amazing coverage.

But either way, the fest must have been quite the success,
because it's back again for 2018! Let's take a look at the official lineup:

 

  

 

That's right-- Jeff Goldblum is back!! Let the world rejoice!! Okay, so aside from Mr. Goldblum, here are BeerMoviesMusic's official top 5 acts that must be seen per each day (in the order of importance to see, of course), all accompanied by a haiku written by yours truly.

 

SATURDAY 6/23:

 

1. Neil Young & Promise of the Real

No, Neil not so young

But all must see his set 'cause

The promise is real

 

2. Pretenders

Please don't get me wrong

If you see Chrissie Hynde

I will stand by you

 

3. The Specials

Calling all rude boys

And girls and men and women

Let's ska dance again

 

4. Jack White

No stripes, only Jack

Or perhaps he'd be higher

On this list today

 

5. Seu Jorge

Sure, we all saw Wes

Anderson's film, now see Seu

In Pasadena

 

 

SUNDAY 6/24:

1. The Bangles

Please run, don't walk like

An Egyptian or any

Person who may walk

 

2. Violent Femmes

If you're not seeing

Femmes at Arroyo Seco

You can just kiss off

 

3. Kings of Leon

Ouch. Reminded of

Bad memories of an ex

Replace with good ones

 

4. Alanis Morissette

Don't be ironic

You can't do this on TV

Wait, isn't she God?

 

5. Robert Plant & the Sensational Space Shifters

Let's be honest here

Robert only made this list

Because of his hair

 

Anyway, 2018 looks good and BeerMoviesMusic looks forward to checking it out. You can, too, if you go here.
