***Thesse guys have to be on the Lightning in a bottle act this year, Tinashe will be there , but a lot of these guys I need to check out! you can totally get into a time warp hanging out at the dolab at coachella, just forget the time. 

Very alt indeed. Hot Mulligan is perfect for there are so many other alt indie acts to check out too, love the new music. Ceremony Freshwater and Drain all standout to me. 

Super indie, some punk rock, and some Spanish, great collection of genres. 

Does this mean that these names are going to be at EdC this year? or maybe even Lolla or Austin City Limits? the same sorta names often tour around the same times so need to check out these artists if they are the ones next up. 

Armin is a must I feel like at coachella, Josh Baker, GENESI, and Green Velvet all stand out to me. go to the yuma tent for the disco shark and the AC for sureeee (there may or may not be a line to get in tho...)


Last year Blood Oath was in the Dolab and Dj snake has been to coachella a couple of times but should be a good set, with this whole 2016 throwback theme this year in music.  

Armin Van Buuren is gunna be at Yuma as well in case you miss the Quasar set or it's too crowded. Fatboy Slim seems like a  fun throwback , David Guetta is very 2010s as well with the throwback trend and don't know much about Pawsa. 

So that means ....this is sorta the break down so far...?

Grammys Throwback 2025 and 2024


With the Grammys this weekend, there will be performances by Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, SOMBR, and The Marías will perform in a special Best New Artist segment at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Last year there was a medley off all the new artists noms, 

Others are Sabrina Carpenter, Pharrell, and Clipse have confirmed as well according to their website!

Last year besides the new artist medley and the tributes to the LA fires, and Quincy Jones and in memoriam, Shakira, Charli XCX, The Weeknd, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Billie Eilish all performed. 


It feels like every year has some huge moment, from Kobe, to the LA fires, Kesha support, with many legacy acts performing over time from Madonna, to Michael Jackson and more. 



Its wild, because now this time around, Sabrina I feel like is the more seasoned artist compared to last years she fit like a Taylor Swift mini me where now she's coming into her own. 

Last year it was so girl heavy, kinda love the pop music that was highlighted. The Weeknd has to be my fav thooo. 


and in 2024 besides the tributes, it had huge female talent as well, Billie again, Dua Lipa, SZA, Miley, Olivia Rodrigo. Then the guys were Burna Boy, Travis Scott, Billy Joel/Laufey, U2, and Luke Combs/Tracy Chapman. 

Music wise, in 2026, who will dominate the red carpet, who's performance will be the moment of 2026, and what will the gossip be this year?

Throwback 2016 Alternative music

people with musical instruments performing 

These are all the top 1 songs of the year 20216 according to billboard, kinda wild how this is data is so true, like the pilots have been doing arenas for years, and lowk key wondering when they'll start doing stadiums tours. Cage the Elephants, is such a staple indie band as well, so very Tumblr. 

My favorite on this list has to Dark Necessities, Heathens, and Ophelia. For me, 2016 felt so dance pop heavy but alternative wise, love Twenty One Pilots, The Chili Peppers, and The Lumineers.
