Grab your blankets and baskets y’all! Goldenvoice has just announced one of the most insane lineup drops yet with their newest festival making its debut entrance in 2022 : This Ain’t No Picnic. And it is one cookout we want to be invited too.
Taking place August 27 and 28 in the shady oaks and parkland of Brookside at the Rose Bowl, the team behind Coachella, Stagecoach, Cruel World and Just Like Heave have an unparalleled eye for curating some of musics very best festivals. The name nodding to one of Goldenvoice’s earliest festivals, launched in Irvine, California in 1999, the same year as Coachella. The youthful exuberance and energy from that festival lives on, as This Ain’t No Picnic 2022 brings together the talent buying team of Goldenvoice’s Stacy Vee, Jenn Yacoubian and Rene Contreras to celebrate all of the artists they love across one glorious weekend.
The festival will include headliners The Strokes and LCD Soundsystem, and joined by a mind-blowing reunion of Le Tigre (it will be their first performance in 12 years!), hometown hero Phoebe Bridgers, IDLES, Courtney Barnett, Caroline Polachek, Honey Dijon, Four Tet x Floating Points (in a rare combined DJ set), Yves Tumor, Descendents, Wet Leg, Genesis Owusu, Turnstile, Hana Vu, and many more, plus a sixth “stage” for Despacio, a custom built disco sound system designed by James Murphy and team.
This Ain’t No Picnic is already proving to break ground in offering a true fusion of experience that transcends genre and generations, upcoming to established acts. Varying between hip-hop, dance, indie, underground and everything in-between, you can be sure to that this is one not to miss.
