FestivalNews: Nateva/Pickathon

With the addition of a number of bands that appeal to the Pitchfork/Stereogum crowd, we’d say the inaugural Nateva Music Festival is having an identity crisis, but isn’t variety the spice of life? Old idioms aside, what first looked to be a jamband festival has now added the likes of She & Him, Grizzly Bear, Passion Pit and The Constellations. Jam fans fear not, they’ve also added HT faves The McLovins, Drive-By Truckers and The Brew. Click here for the complete lineup for the event which takes place in Oxford, ME over the Fourth of July Weekend.

A bunch of killer Americana acts have been added to the lineup for the 12th Annual Pickathon Festival taking place at Pendarvis Farm near Portland, OR on August 6-8. Dr. Dog, Punch Brothers and Fruits Bats will each perform twice joining Bonnie Prince Billy & The Cairo Gang, Heartless Bastards, These United States and Langhorne Slim on the bill for the intimate event.
