MusicFest NW Announces 2015 Lineup
Last week MusicFest NW announced their initial 2015 lineup, and like last year’s version, it’s a doozy and highlights several different genres. One thing that’s different this year is the welcome addition of a few Friday night shows, which will include sets from Foster The People, Milo Greene, Lost Lander and Misterwives.
Here’s to hoping the corporate presence is a bit toned down from the previous year, and that the fest learned from last year’s mistakes, which had nothing to do with the music and everything to do with fan experience. Learning pains are to be expected with such a huge endeavor being moved from clubs to the waterfront though I suppose, and MFNW is doing a great job booking, so this year’s fest is shaping up to be an even better time.
