Modest Mouse + Doug Martsch
Sure, these Northwest indie rock icons make frequent stops in town—but it’s hard to complain. On their last visit, Isaac Brock and company treated fans to a full performance of Good News for People Who Love Bad News. This time, expect a deeper dive into their expansive catalog. As an added bonus for indie rock lifers, Built To Spill’s Doug Martsch opens.

David J (Bauhaus) + Chandra Shukla (Psychic TV) + Renata Youngblood
As one of the minds behind the immortal goth anthem “Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” David John Haskins has long since secured his place in music history. A founding member of both Bauhaus and Love & Rockets, it’s a bit disheartening that his name alone isn’t enough to fill a larger venue—but it’s hard to complain about the rare chance to experience a legend up close.

Aparna Nancherla
Even if the name doesn’t ring a bell, you’ve probably laughed at Aparna Nancherla. The D.C.-born comic has popped up everywhere—from What We Do in the Shadows and Crashing to Bob’s Burgers, Search Party, and Space Force. She even voiced BoJack Horseman’s half-sister, Hollyhock. Most importantly? She’s hilarious.

Wallows + Porches
To be honest, Wallows—the poppy indie rock trio from L.A.—only recently landed on my radar. Fronted by a pair of former child actors, their polished tunes are pleasant enough—but don’t quite pack a punch. In contrast, opener Porches has been a consistent source of inventive, emotionally rich bedroom pop for years. Aaron Maine seemed poised to break into larger venues with 2018’s The House, but a string of more lo-fi, adventurous releases since then—while some…

Quintron + Aaron Dilloway + Yellowbellies + DJ Salami Baby
In a landscape crowded with uninspired carbon copies, Robert Rolston stands out as a true original—an idiosyncratic weirdo who may always fly under the radar, but never fails to deliver a wildly entertaining experience to anyone lucky enough to catch Quintron in action.

The Antlers + Okkervil River
Not only are two of the best indie rock bands of the 2000s sharing a bill, but for part of the night, they’ll also be joining forces to perform each other’s songs. So if you’ve ever wondered what it would sound like with Peter Silberman singing Jonathan Meiburg’s part on “Lost Coastlines,” this might be your best chance to find out.

Tobacco City + Glyders
Released in March, Tobacco City’s sophomore album Horses is a warm, nostalgic spin on classic country twang—wide open and dust-kicked, with atmospheric flourishes that give it room to roam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtoPMiIkaD8

Drain + Scowl + Koyo
Drain may top the bill, but fellow Santa Cruz hardcore crew Scowl is one of the hottest underground acts of 2025. Their explosive Late Show with Stephen Colbert performance in April turned a lot of heads. If you don’t leave this show dripping in sweat, were you even there? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32M7MCfTXlQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RNndDSKDSY

Fred Armisen: Comedy for Musicians But Everyone is Welcome
SNL alum Fred Armisen has had a truly fascinating career. Before his breakout in comedy, he played drums in the Chicago punk band Trenchmouth—fronted by the remarkable Damon Locks—and also did a stint as a background drummer for Blue Man Group. After an 11-year run on Saturday Night Live beginning in the early 2000s, his star rose even higher with the breakout success of Portlandia, the cult-favorite sketch series he co-created with Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein.…

Valley Maker + Bizner
Columbia, SC’s Austin Crane hasn’t released new music since When the Day Leaves dropped back in 2021—which, let’s be honest, feels like forever ago. That album was a gentle standout in a heavy time, and its shimmering folk-rock charm still holds up beautifully. Valley Maker bandmate Amy Godwin will pull double duty, opening the night with her somber project, Bizner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16jCTAwoFBs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if3Zr4HT3LY

The Black Angels + Earthless + A Place To Bury Strangers
On their own, The Black Angels are more than enough reason to get your ass to Burial Forestry Camp on Saturday afternoon. Carrying the torch of American psych rock first lit by their forebears, the 13th Floor Elevators, these fellow Austinites burst onto the scene with their stellar 2006 debut Passover—and they haven’t slowed down since. But the recent addition of A Place To Bury Strangers takes this show to another level entirely. The NYC…

U.S. Girls
Meg Remy has never played by the rules. As the creative force behind U.S. Girls, she’s carved out a singular space — drawing from the full spectrum of pop music history while constantly evolving. For her latest move, the Toronto art-pop visionary headed to Nashville, assembling a killer band to record Scratch. The new album, dropping just a day before her Grey Eagle show, is a stripped-down affair —with minimal overdubs — while still blurring…

Florry + Tombstone Poetry
The Philly septet is part of the current wave of alt-country bands with ties to Asheville. The band's excellent new album, Sounds Like…, was recorded at Drop of Sun studio with local singer-songwriter (MJ Lenderman and Wednesday associate) Colin Miller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voKY6BIdnDM

Adrian Younge
Having collaborated with the likes of Ghostface Killah, The Delfonics, Kendrick Lamar, Ebo Taylor, Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest), and Laetitia Sadier, Adrian Younge deserves far more widespread recognition. This is the guy who scored Netflix’s Luke Cage, after all. His fusion of psychedelic soul with a deep reverence for Ennio Morricone has produced some of the coolest, most distinctive music out there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKxagrhvMpw

Billy Woods + PremRock
NYC-based rapper Billy Woods seems to drop an Album of the Year contender annually — sometimes more than one. His latest release, GOLLIWOG, is no exception. Backed by a diverse lineup of producers, Woods delivers some of his strongest work yet, crafting dense, abstract verses that confront listeners with the brutal realities of Black existence. Also on the bill is his Backwoodz Studioz labelmate PremRock, whose recent album Did You Enjoy Your Time Here...? stands…

This Will Destroy You + Jesse Beaman + Khandroma + Sleep Number
Both bands can be titanic sonic forces, but while fellow Texans Explosions in the Sky channel an ascending, almost cinematic optimism, This Will Destroy You leans into a darker palette — their sound steeped in the weight of doom metal and drone influences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KOdL37Ae_o

Blondshell
In 2020, Sabrina Mae Teitelbaum shed her pop-oriented persona BAUM and reemerged in 2022 as Blondshell, embracing a grittier sound rooted in ’90s alternative rock. The reinvention quickly paid off — her track “Joiner” even landed on Barack Obama’s “Favorite Music of 2023” list. Her sophomore album, If You Asked for a Picture, picks up right where she left off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTnNTlSUkXc

Band Of Horses
Ben Bridwell and company may always be shadowed by the massive success of their debut. Everything All the Time introduced Band of Horses as a fully formed, folky indie-rock force — and it’s remained a high-water mark that's tough to top. Still, they’ve continued to put out solid records. I’ll admit they nearly lost me with Mirage Rock (2012), but Why Are You OK (2016) and Things Are Great (2022) restored my faith. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiAYykMuK1A

Steel Pulse
Fifty years ago, Basil Gabbidon and David Hinds formed Steel Pulse, a band that would become a cornerstone of British roots reggae. Closely tied to the Rock Against Racism movement, Steel Pulse emerged from Birmingham’s scene with a sound and message that resonated deeply with the UK punk movement of the late ’70s. While the lineup has evolved over the years, founding vocalist/guitarist David Hinds and original keyboardist Selwyn Brown still lead the charge. Chances…

Gary Clark Jr. + Joy Oladokun
A modern king of blues rock, Austin native Gary Clark Jr. is widely regarded as one of today’s premier guitar-slingers. But it’s not all about flashy solos—his songs carry real emotional weight and staying power. Opening the night is the wonderfully soulful Joy Oladokun, whose music is every bit as heartfelt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQZCeumRZdc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHhx13E39bI

The last time Sam Beam came through town, the weather had other plans, drenching the downtown venue formerly known as Rabbit Rabbit. This time around, he’ll be joined by the immensely talented folk supergroup I’m With Her—featuring Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O’Donovan. Here’s hoping for clear skies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTSTOXFVoEY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2g2f6DgF8c

The Gaslight Anthem
When The ’59 Sound dropped in 2008, it was inescapable. The Jersey band had perfectly captured the anthemic rock energy so often linked to their home state—thanks in no small part to The Boss himself. And it didn't hurt that Springsteen was a fan. After a hiatus from 2015 to 2021, Brian Fallon and the gang are back, delivering their signature blend of heartland punk rock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYvQbJBoI_Y

Deep Sea Diver + Meernaa
Though she’s long been a go-to guitarist for big names like Beck and The Shins, Jessica Dobson’s main project has flown largely under the radar—until now. With the release of the excellent new album Billboard Heart, people are finally taking notice. As always, Dobson’s guitar prowess is front and center, backed by sharp songwriting and undeniable hooks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hokGuFIw1PQ

They Might Be Giants
The fact that this quirky duo from Brooklyn is still going strong after over 40 years warms my heart. In that timespan, the Johns have released a staggering 23 studio albums, won a pair of Grammys, and have sold over 4 million albums, all the while maintaining a uniquely geeky cool charm that has not been replicated. Last time they were in town, they delivered classic album Flood in full. This time around they’re got…
