If you're headed to Shaky Knees in Atlanta this weekend, here are 10 bands to check out.
To put it bluntly: this year’s Shaky Knees lineup is not great. With the caveat that major American festival lineups seem to be becoming universally less interesting, this year’s spread doesn’t provide much by way of artistic intrigue or critical relevance.
Booking a rock-forward lineup largely lacking in exciting bands is a head scratcher, considering the vast amount of talented, interesting bands that are touring right now and itching to collect a festival paycheck.
The Killers, Muse and The Lumineers will headline this year’s Shaky Knees on May 5-7, which is disappointing to say the least, given that the latter two bands have existed outside the zeitgeist for at least a decade—even though their gargantuan streaming numbers suggest that Muse’s vapid, conceptual space rock and the early 2010s wave of hokey, stomp-clap folk, which can practically claim The Lumineers’ “Ho Hey” as its theme song, still have mainstream appeal.
Despite a lot of white male mediocrity, both in marquee and undercard slots—who on god’s green earth is dying to see insipid dude groups like Trash Panda, Beach Weather or Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol in 2023?—thankfully, there are still a few gems if you look hard enough.
