Hinterland 2017
- Thread starter Blackhawk6515
- Start date
Purely speculation but I was encourage that he was free that weekend and in the Midwest.
I feel like Jack White might be too big of a name. He has headlined Lolla and other major fests.
Some of my hopefuls:
Sylvan Esso
Reignwolf
Matt and Kim
Vampire Weekend
Father John Misty
Sheepdogs
Make Gary Clark Jr. a permanent act.
I think someone like Elder would be too heavy, but their newest album is killer.
Martin Sexton
S. Carey
Collin Stetson
Just off the top of my head.

Love the idea of Gary Clark Jr. an annual fixture in the lineup. In hindsight, he should have closed the show last year.
In addition to Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, I'm also hoping for any of the following:
Hiss Golden Messenger
Leon Bridges
Anderson Paak
Anderson East
Alabama Shakes
Blitzen Trapper
The Revivalists
As much as I'd love Jack White, I agree he's also likely just too big of a name. But it's jut my gut. And I would LOVE if GCJr were an annual tradition - he stole Saturday last year, should have closed it out.
I also had wondered about Sylvan Esso, Father John Misty, and Rateliff. I would LOVE to see Leon Bridges and Alabama Shakes, but feel like they're also too big of names at this point. LOVE Anderson .Paak, but not sure if the hip hop thing would fly as a main act at Hinterland? I'd dig it!
Some bands with stuff coming out this year that I would not be surprised if we saw at either Hinterland or 80/35 (esp since some have already been to Iowa):
First Aid Kit
The Shins
Bahamas (I love their new single)
Franz Ferdinand
Belle & Sebastian
Moby
Titus Andronicus (maybe more 80/35 than Hinterland?)
Fratellis
The 1975
My Morning Jacket
Gorillaz looks to have something coming out this year - they'd be amazing, but probably too big?
I didn't know Bahamas had something new out! I'll have to look into that tonight.
I think within the next couple of months! Check out "Bad Boys Need Love Too" - it's awesome.
Great list. Hadn't heard of Anderson East so thanks for that one! He is great.
Hinterland is more of an Americana based line up and 80/35 is more alternative rock/electric, although each festival has acts that cross over.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Hinterland go after Jason Isbell or Sturgill Simpson.

They kinda departed from that last year with Alt J imo. Sturgill would be awesome. MMJ would be incredible. Even just Jim James would be alright with me.
Yeah, I just checked him out too, his new LP dropped today.
Oh cool, Angie ignores my Hinterland 2018 thread. Just kidding. Sturgill and Nathaniel Rateliff. I'm all in.
I might be most excited about J Roddy Walston. He is awesome. But Sturgill Simpson, Nathaniel Rateliff... This is great. I loved Band of Horses live about 14 months ago when they were at Hoyt Sherman. Chvrches is good, too.
Sturgill, Blackberry Smoke and Tyler Childers!! Yes please.
